Routledge Handbook of Critical Indigenous Studies

Featuring important contributions by leading scholars in the field, this volume is an indispensable intervention into the field of Critical Indigenous Studies and a must-read for understanding its empirical, theoretical, and methodological scaffolding. -- Jeani O'Brien, University of Minnesota, USA With a stellar editorial team, this extraordinary collection offers a much-needed state-of-the-field: Critical Indigenous Studies at its best, in a global frame. With thematic sections that showcase rich intellectual diversity, these outstanding essays are all well researched, conceptually innovative, and brilliantly theorized - yet, also accessible. This volume is essential reading! -- J. Kehaulani Kauanui, Professor of American Studies and Anthropology, Wesleyan University, USA This handbook, edited by international leading scholars in the field, will be an essential resource for the academy and for Indigenous communities. It's a unique and powerful collection of the most influential Indigenous scholars, and will be a must-have for students, researchers and scholars. -- Larissa Behrendt, Director of Research and Academic Programs, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research, University of Technology Sydney, Australia This book is very much welcomed. Given that Indigenous scholars are researching, developing curriculum, and trying to engage in meaningful and respectful partnerships with Indigenous communities in Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and elsewhere, a collection such as this has never been more important or timely. The Handbook is edited by esteemed Indigenous scholars, and contains works by leading and emerging critical Indigenous scholars and thought leaders. The handbook will be a source of reference, theory, explanation, challenge, and inspiration, and I am excited by the prospect of its influence in the hands of my colleagues and students. -- Bronwyn Fredericks, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement), The University of Queensland, Australia A crucial reference work for the international, interdisciplinary field of Indigenous scholars within and outside the academy, the Handbook is more than a catalogue of critical thought and practice up to the present moment - it offers deeply thoughtful glimpses into dynamic Indigenous futures. -- K.
