Critically Sovereign traces the ways in which gender is
inextricably a part of Indigenous politics and U.S. and Canadian
imperialism and colonialism. The contributors show how gender,
sexuality, and feminism work as co-productive forces of Native
American and Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and
epistemology. Several essays use a range of literary and legal
texts to analyze the production of colonial space, the biopolitics
of "Indianness," and the collisions and collusions between queer
theory and colonialism within Indigenous studies. Others address
the U.S. government's criminalization of traditional forms of Dine
marriage and sexuality, the Inupiat people's changing conceptions
of masculinity as they embrace the processes of globalization,
Hawai'i's same-sex marriage bill, and stories of Indigenous women
falling in love with non-human beings such as animals, plants, and
stars. Following the politics of gender, sexuality, and feminism
across these diverse historical and cultural contexts, the
contributors question and reframe the thinking about Indigenous
knowledge, nationhood, citizenship, history, identity, belonging,
and the possibilities for a decolonial future. Contributors. Jodi
