ENGAGE: Indigenous, Black, and Afro-Indigenous Futures edited by Joy James
ENGAGE is a tribute to the power of self-determined stories. This dynamic anthology includes reflections by Indigenous, Black and Afro-Indigenous organizers and educators analyzing and resisting historical and contemporary violence and theft.
Both raw and disciplined, ENGAGE discusses spirituality, environmentalism, security, freedom, autonomy, Indigenous cultures, anti-Blackness, family, and liberatory pedagogy. It is an invitation to dismantle colonial oppressions and a toolkit to build a future free from the harmful legacies of racism and genocide.
ENGAGE includes contributions from under-platformed writers from diverse political perspectives. It emphasises the role of non-academic as well as academic collaborators who function as stewards of progressive and radical projects that seek to build a libertory future.
