In this highly original and much-needed book, Clare Land
interrogates the often fraught endeavours of activists from
colonial backgrounds seeking to be politically supportive of
Indigenous struggles. Blending key theoretical and practical
questions, Land argues that the predominant impulses which drive
middle-class settler activists to support Indigenous people cannot
lead to successful alliances and meaningful social change unless
they are significantly transformed through a process of both public
political action and critical self-reflection. Based on a wealth of
in-depth, original research, and focussing in particular on
Australia, where – despite strident challenges – the vestiges
of British law and cultural power have restrained the nation's
emergence out of colonizing dynamics, Decolonizing Solidarity
provides a vital resource for those involved in Indigenous activism
and scholarship.
