This highly topical collection of essays addresses contemporary
issues facing Indigenous communities from a broad range of multi-
and interdisciplinary perspectives. Drawing from across the social
sciences and humanities, this important volume challenges the
established norms, theories, and methodologies within the field,
and argues for the potential of a multidimensional approach to
solving problems of Indigenous justice. Stemming from an
international conference on 'Spaces of Indigenous Justice',
Indigenous Justice is richly illustrated with case studies and
comprises contributions from scholars working across the fields of
law, socio-legal studies, sociology, public policy, politico-legal
theory, and Indigenous studies. As such, the editors of this timely
and engaging volume draw upon a wide range of experience to argue
for a radical shift in how we engage with Indigenous studies.
Indigenous Invisibility in the City contextualises the significant
social change in Indigenous life circumstances and resurgence that
came out of social movements in cities. It is about Indigenous
resurgence and community development by First Nations people for
First Nations people in cities. Seventy-five years ago, First
Nations peoples began a significant post-war period of relocation
to cities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa New
Zealand. First Nations peoples engaged in projects of resurgence
and community development in the cities of the four settler states.
First Nations peoples, who were motivated by aspirations for
autonomy and empowerment, went on to create the foundations of
Indigenous social infrastructure. This book explains the ways First
Nations people in cities created and took control of their own
futures. A fact largely wilfully ignored in policy contexts. Today,
differences exist over the way governments and First Nations
peoples see the role and responsibilities of Indigenous
institutions in cities. What remains hidden in plain sight is their
societal function as a social and political apparatus through which
much of the social processes of Indigenous resurgence and community
development in cities occurred. The struggle for self-determination
in settler cities plays out through First Nations people's efforts
to sustain their own institutions and resurgence, but also rights
and recognition in cities. This book will be of interest to
Indigenous studies scholars, urban sociologists, urban political
scientists, urban studies scholars, and development studies
scholars interested in urban issues and community building and
development. This book is available for free in PDF format as Open
Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com. It

Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First Century: Global
Manifestations, Transdisciplinary Interventions is a tightly
interconnected and richly collaborative book that will advance our
understanding of why it is so difficult to re-form and reimagine
whiteness in the twenty-first century. Composed after the election
of the first black U.S. president, post-global financial crisis,
more than a decade after 9/11, and concomitant with a rash of
xenophobic incidents across the globe, the book distills several
key themes associated with a post-millennial global whiteness: the
individual and collective emotions of whiteness, the recentering of
whiteness through governing and legal strategies, and the retreats
from social equity and justice that have characterized the late
twentieth and twenty-first century nation state. It also attempts
the difficult work of reimagining white identities and cultures for
a new era. Chapters in Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First
Century draw from the fields of African-American studies, English
studies, media studies, philosophy, political science, psychology,
sociology, education, and women's studies. Using
transdisciplinarity as a mode of inquiry for the project and
responding to the changing phenomenon of whiteness across several
continents (Australia, Canada, France, Romania, South Africa,
Sweden, and the United States), the collection brings together
established and emerging scholars and a range of critical
approaches to unveil and intervene in the ideologies of whiteness
in our contemporary moment. Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First
Century demonstrates that complex inquiry and activism are needed
to challenge new iterations of whiteness in twenty-first-century
political and social spaces.
