In The Medicine of Peace, Jeffrey Ansloos explores the complex
intersections of colonial violence, the current status of
Indigenous youth in Canada in regards to violence and the
possibilities of critical-Indigenous psychologies of nonviolence.
Indigenous youth are disproportionately at risk for violent
victimization and incarceration within the justice system. They are
also marginalized and oppressed within our systems of academia,
mental health and social work. By linking the contemporary
experiences of Indigenous youth with broader contexts of
intergenerational colonial violence in Canadian society and
history, Ansloos highlights the colonial nature of current
approaches to Indigenous youth care. Using a critical-Indigenous
discourse to critique, deconstruct and de-legitimize the hegemony
of Western social science, Ansloos advances an Indigenous peace
psychology to promote the revitalization of Indigenous identity for
these youth.
