Description
Book SynopsisLooking Back and Living Forward: Indigenous Research Rising Up brings together research from a diverse group of scholars from a variety of disciplines. The work shared in this book is done by and with Indigenous peoples, from across Canada and around the world. Together, the collaborators’ voices resonate with urgency and insights towards resistance and resurgence. The various chapters address historical legacies, environmental concerns, community needs, wisdom teachings, legal issues, personal journeys, educational implications, and more. In these offerings, the contributors share the findings from their literature surveys, document analyses, community-based projects, self-studies, and work with knowledge keepers and elders. The scholarship draws on the teachings of the past, experiences of the present, and will undoubtedly inform research to come.
Trade Review"[Looking Back and Living Forward] is like a collection of short stories told in straightforward prose that can be dipped into to find something of interest, perhaps in a discipline or topic that is entirely new to the reader. It will certainly open the reader’s eyes to the diversity and depth of research being carried out in Indigenous studies and can be recommended to anyone wishing to expand their understanding and knowledge." -- Jim Reynolds, LSE Review of Books
