Summary:  "Indigenous communities have been organizing against violence since newcomers first arrived, but the cases of missing and murdered women have only recently garnered broad public attention. Violence Against Indigenous Women joins the conversation by analyzing the socially interventionist work of Indigenous women poets, playwrights, filmmakers, and fiction-writers. Organized as a series of case studies that pair literary interventions with recent sites of activism and policy-critique, the book puts literature in dialogue with anti-violence debate to illuminate new pathways toward action."--From publisher's website. "With the advent of provincial and national inquiries into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, a larger public conversation is now underway. Indigenous women's literature is a critical site of knowledge-making and critique. Violence Against Indigenous Women provides a foundation for reading this literature in the context of Indigenous feminist scholarship and activism and the ongoing intellectual history of Indigenous women's resistance."-- Publisher Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Central Library Adult Nonfiction - Indigenous Peoples Collection 819.0935 H279v Adult books Adult Display 1 Add Copy to MyList Sheet Harbour Public Library Adult Nonfiction - Indigenous Peoples Collection 819.0935 H279v Adult books Checked in Add Copy to MyList
