This book argues that there is a need to develop greater
indigenous-led intergenerational resilience in order to meet the
challenges posed by contemporary crises of climate change, cultural
clashes, and adversity. In today's media, the climate crisis is
kept largely separate and distinct from the violent cultural
clashes unfolding on the grounds of religion and migration, but
each is similarly symptomatic of the erasure of the human
connection to place and the accompanying tensions between
generations and cultures. This book argues that both forms of
crisis are intimately related, under-scored and driven by the
structures of white supremacism which at their most immediate and
visible, manifest as the discipline of black bodies, and at more
fundamental and far-reaching proportions, are about the power,
privilege and patterns of thinking associated with but no longer
exclusive to white people. In the face of such crisis, it is
essential to bring the experience and wisdom of Elders and
traditional knowledge keepers together with the contemporary
realities and vision of youth. This book's inclusive and critical
perspective on Indigenous-led intergenerational resilience will be
valuable to Indigenous and non-Indigenous interdisciplinary
scholars working on human-ecological resilience.
