Indigenous Disability Studies
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-65650-2 (ISBN)
By including various knowledge systems related to social-cultural, traditional governance, spirituality, educational, and self-representation within a communal understanding, the knowledge brought forth will be a combination of information from within/communal and outwards/infusion by Indigenous teachers, scholars, academics, and professionals who aim to combat the negative effects of disability labels and policies that have regulated Indigenous peoples.
Comprised of five sections:
The power, wisdom, knowledge, and lived experiences of Elders
Reframing the narrative – Navigating self-representation
Learning from within – Including traditional knowledge
Challenging colonial authority – Infusing regional ideals and concepts
Interpretations, narratives, and lived experiences of grassroots teachers and social service providers
It will be an asset to those who seek out a deeper understanding of the complexity of Indigenous people and their knowledge, including anyone who deals with predominantly non-Indigenous mindsets and barriers to education.
Courses on disability studies, Indigenous studies, social work, health, education, and development studies will all benefit from this book.
