Settler Responsibility for Decolonisation

<p>This edited collection presents perspectives from a range of disciplines on the challenges of dismantling coloniality in settler societies.</p><p>Showcasing a variety of pedagogies and case studies the book offers approaches to the praxis of decolonisation in diverse settings including tertiary education activism arts curatorial practice the media trans-Indigeneity and psychosocial therapy. Chapters centre on the personal relational and political work needed to support decolonisation in settler societies in Aotearoa New Zealand Australia the United States and Canada. Drawing from experiences in the field contributors argue that to decolonise research and build authentic relationships with Indigenous communities settler researchers must learn from Indigenous worldviews without appropriating them disrupt colonial epistemologies and reconcile their place in colonialism. Indigenising is discussed as a counterpart to the decolonisation process involving restoring and centring the Indigenous voice within Indigenised socio-cultural economic legal and political structures and institutions including the return of land.</p><p>The book is a rich resource for researchers seeking to understand and support decolonisation in settler societies and will appeal to non-Indigenous scholars students and those involved in decolonisation work in community and institutional settings.</p>
