Settler societies habitually frame Indigenous people as 'a people
of the past'-their culture somehow 'frozen' in time, their
identities tied to static notions of 'authenticity', and their
communities understood as 'in decline'. But this narrative erases
the many ways that Indigenous people are actively engaged in
future-orientated practice, including through new technologies.
Indigenous Digital Life offers a broad, wide-ranging account of how
social media has become embedded in the lives of Indigenous
Australians. Centring on ten core themes-including identity,
community, hate, desire and death-we seek to understand both the
practice and broader politics of being Indigenous on social media.
Rather than reproducing settler narratives of Indigenous
'deficiency', we approach Indigenous social media as a space of
Indigenous action, production, and creativity; we see Indigenous
social media users as powerful agents, who interact with and shape
their immediate worlds with skill, flair and nous; and instead of
being 'a people of the past', we show that Indigenous digital life
is often future-orientated, working towards building better
relations, communities and worlds. This book offers new ideas,
insights and provocations for both students and scholars of
Indigenous studies, media and communication studies, and cultural
studies.
The Palgrave Handbook on Rethinking Colonial
Commemorations explores global efforts, particularly from
Indigenous and Bla(c)k communities, to dismantle colonial
commemorations, monuments, and memorials. Across the world, many
Indigenous and Bla(c)k communities have taken action to remove,
rectify and/or re-imagine colonial commemorations. These efforts
have had the support of some non-Indigenous and white community
members, but very often they have faced fierce opposition. In spite
of this, many have succeeded, and this work aims to acknowledge and
honour these efforts. As a current and much-debated issue, this
book will present fresh findings and analyses of recent and
historical events, including #RhodesMustFall, Anzac Day protests,
and the transferral of confederate monuments to museums. Comprising
of chapters written by Indigenous, Bla(c)k and non-Indigenous
authors, from a wide variety of locations, backgrounds and
purposes, this topical volume is a timely and important
contribution to the fields of memory studies, Indigenous Studies,
and cultural heritage.
Global Indigeneity is a term that reflects shared recognition of
sovereignty among Indigenous peoples. Terms like global
Indigeneity, transnational, and relational are in use to describe
both ancient and contemporary connections between Indigenous
peoples all over the world. This edited volume brings together a
range of Indigenous perspectives, forming a global network of
writers, thinkers, and scholars connected by common investment in
Indigenous futures. This transnational solidarity results in
collective activism and envisioning – a joint investment in
futures free of the tyrannies imposed by settler-colonialism. This
edited volume assembles collective visions of Indigenous futures,
contemplations of the potential of digital technologies, and
considerations of Indigenous intimacies, relationalities and
manners in which we locate ourselves in an increasingly global,
connected world. Together, they present possibilities and the
practicalities required to bring them to fruition. -- .
WHY PUBLISH: - Chapters are written solely by Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander authors. - Issues covered are topical and current,
and include themes such as: gender and sexuality, racism,
decolonisation practices, digital futures, education and identity.
- Compared to competing titles, which tend to frame Indigenous
peoples as people of the past, this book looks at Indigenous
peoples of the present and speculates their futures. This has never
been attempted before in this format, and will be a valuable
contribution to the field of Indigenous Studies.
