Afro-Indigenous Women’s Survivance explores the rhetorics of survivance of Afro-Indigenous women and their activism. Delving into the way they have historically survived and resisted, it reveals how they navigate interlocking systems of oppression.
It also demonstrates the complexities of their identity formations due to the onslaught of discrimination, which is itself an integral part of their survivance. Using case studies, this book features Afro-Indigenous activists across social locations while revealing the themes that highlight their implementation of their rhetorics of survivance. Thus, it underscores the valuable contributions Afro-Indigenous women make to healing colonial, historical, racial, and gendered racial traumas by telling their stories, sharing their wisdom systems, preserving women ancestors, and implementing activist projects. This book argues that Afro-Indigenous women sustain and preserve a larger category of Indigeneity that intertwines Black and Native heritage.
Ideal for scholars and students in Indigenous studies, African American studies, gender studies, and decolonial theory, this text invites activists, educators, and researchers to engage deeply with Afro-Indigenous women’s stories as transformative acts of resistance and recovery.
