In contrast to past studies that focus narrowly on war and
massacre, treat Native peoples as victims, and consign violence
safely to the past, this interdisciplinary collection of essays
opens up important new perspectives. While recognizing the long
history of genocidal violence against Indigenous peoples, the
contributors emphasize the agency of individuals and communities in
genocide's aftermath and provide historical and contemporary
examples of activism, resistance, identity formation, historical
memory, resilience, and healing. The collection also expands the
scope of violence by examining the eyewitness testimony of women
and children who survived violence, the role of Indigenous
self-determination and governance in inciting violence against
women, and settler colonialism's promotion of cultural erasure and
environmental destruction.By including contributions on Indigenous
peoples in the United States, Canada, the Pacific, Greenland,
SApmi, and Latin America, the volume breaks down nation-state and
European imperial boundaries to show the value of global Indigenous
frameworks. Connecting the past to the present, this book confronts
violence as an ongoing problem and identifies projects that
mitigate and push back against it.
