Deconstructing Indigenous Feminism: A View from the Other Side
2019
The paper addresses key concepts of Indigenous feminism and the phenomenon of the female marginal Other seen in the fiction and non-fiction works presented by distinguished Canadian female authors in postmodern, racial and women’s studies. They have shared their intimate memories and personal impressions on the experience of being women surrounded by the social constraints of racism, sexism, and ethnic oppression. A contemporary Indigenous woman and her female public voice are examined through conventional postmodern and post-colonial notions of archetypal femininity, motherhood, and red womanhood stereotypes. Native understanding of the postmodern phenomenon of cultural hybridity as fragmented and fluid female identity is presented in connection with the perception of Indigenous gender roles. Indigenous feminism promotes reconceptualization and prefiguration of an ingrained vision of Aboriginal female identity. Pursuing sexual and ethnic liberation, the Indigenous woman is articula...

“Theorizing Our Place”: Indigenous Women’s Scholarship from 1985-2020 and the Emerging Dialogue with Anti-racist Feminisms
Social Justice Studies, 2020
Abstract: In this article, I review contemporary Indigenous women’s scholarship, describing transformations from 1985 to the present, first to characterize this scholarship on its own terms and second to situate this literature with respect to recent, nascent dialogues with anti-racist feminisms. What is the focus and range of Indigenous women’s scholarship, from 1985 until today? What does this work seek to do, that is, what are the intertwined political and scholarly aims of this scholarship? I suggest that Indigenous women’s scholarly writing is concerned with resilience, or survival, resistance or challenges to colonial power and relationships, and resurgence, or a turning-inward to renew Indigenous knowledges and practices. In the discussion, I briefly consider how the increasingly rich and diverse field of Indigenous women’s theorizing and praxis informs an emerging dialogue with antiracist feminist scholars within the academy and in the broader context of colonial Canada.

TRANSFORMATIONS:
WOMANIST, FEMINIST, AND INDIGENOUS STUDIES
A series for new visions of scholarship in womanism, feminism, and indigeneity.
Series Editor: AnaLouise Keating
Transforming oppositional critique into post-oppositional perspectives, this series offers
exciting opportunities for transdisciplinary scholarship informed by women-of-colors
theory and relational approaches to knowledge production, creativity, and social justice.
Books in this series will enact innovative interventions into mainstream critical,
feminist/womanist, poststructuralist, and continental theory. Transdisciplinary in nature,
TRANSFORMATIONS invites authors to draw from multiple disciplines and perspectives
in potentially synergistic ways; develop radically inclusive approaches to social change;
invent alternatives to conventional forms of theorizing and academic scholarship;
promote theory that is highly readable and practical while intellectually sophisticated and
conversant with recent developments; and take new risks (thematically, theoretically,
methodologically, stylistically) in their work. With the stated aim of moving beyond an
exclusive focus on feminist theory to include womanist and indigenous theorizing, this
series will be at the forefront of the interdisciplinary and diverse trajectory of women's
studies and related fields.
