Urban Indigenous Youth Reframing Two-Spirit

<p>This book offers insights from young trans queer and two-spirit Indigenous people in Toronto who examine the breadth and depth of meanings that two-spirit holds. Tracing the refusals and desires of these youth and their communities <i>Urban Indigenous Youth Reframing Two-Spirit</i> expands critical conversations on queerness Indigeneity and community and simultaneously troubles the idea that articulating a definition of two-spirit is a worthwhile undertaking. Beyond the expansion of these conversations this book also seeks to empower community members educators and young people — both Indigenous and non-Indigenous — to better support the self-determination of trans queer and two-spirit Indigenous youth. By including a research zine and community discussion guidelines Laing demonstrates the possibility of powerful change that comes from Indigenous people creating spaces to share knowledge with one another.</p>
