Following the structure of the successful first edition of Gendered
Intersections, this second edition examines the intersections
across and between gender, race, culture, class, ability,
sexuality, age and geographical location from the diverse
perspectives of academics, artists and activists. Using a variety
of mediums academic research, poetry, statistics, visual essays,
fiction, emails and music this collection offers a unique
exploration of gender through issues such as Aboriginal
self-governance, poverty, work, spirituality, globalization and
community activism. This new edition brings a greater focus on
politics, and gender and the law. It also includes access to a
Gendered Intersections website, which contains several performances
by poets and a Gendered Intersections Quiz, which highlights the
historical and contemporary contributions of women and
non-hegemonic men to Canadian society."
In Keetsahnak / Our Murdered and Missing Indigenous Sisters, the
tension between personal, political, and public action is brought
home starkly as the contributors look at the roots of violence and
how it diminishes life for all. Together, they create a model for
anti-violence work from an Indigenous perspective. They acknowledge
the destruction wrought by colonial violence, and also look at
controversial topics such as lateral violence, challenges in
working with "tradition," and problematic notions involved in
"helping." Through stories of resilience, resistance, and activism,
the editors give voice to powerful personal testimony and allow for
the creation of knowledge. It's in all of our best interests to
take on gender violence as a core resurgence project, a core
decolonization project, a core of Indigenous nation building, and
as the backbone of any Indigenous mobilization. -Leanne

Listening Up, Writing Down, and Looking Beyond is an
interdisciplinary collection that gathers the work of scholars and
performance practitioners who together explore questions about the
oral, written, and visual. The book includes the voices of oral
performance practitioners, while the scholarship of many of the
academic contributors is informed by their participation in oral
storytelling, whether as poets, singers, or visual artists. Its
contributions address the politics and ethics of the utterance and
text: textualizing orature and orality, simulations of the oral,
the poetics of performance, and reconstructions of the oral.
