Indigenous women from the Americas are on the frontlines of
activism in battles ranging from environmental protection, cultural
and language revitalization and preservation, sovereignty
campaigns, sexual violence, and human rights. This book introduces
voices of Native activists blazing trails of resistance in new
fields of engagement. Interviews with contemporary Native women
from the northern and southern hemispheres of the Americas
highlight commonalities amongst them and diverse paths of
resistance work. Artists, lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists,
athletes, educators, economists, and legislators seek societal
transformation and reframe modes of resistance from their areas of
expertise and Indigenous identity. For students in ethnic studies,
gender studies, Latin American and American studies, sociology and
anthropology, the conversations provide insights of Native women
dynamically involved in shifting the socio-cultural imaginary and
the futures of their Nations.

This book analyzes the literary representation of Indigenous women
in Latin American letters from colonization to the twentieth
century, arguing that contemporary theorization of Indigenous
feminism deconstructs denigratory imagery and offers a
(re)signification, (re)semantization and reinvigoration of what it
means to be an Indigenous woman.
