An Introduction to Indigenous Feminisms introduces important concepts and approaches for understanding what Indigenous feminisms are, why we use the term in plural, and why Indigenous feminisms are not just for academics.

This engaging and accessible textbook, the first of its kind in this subject, provides instructors and students with the historical contexts, analytical tools, and the practice-driven possibilities for creative and epistemic engagement with Indigenous feminist knowledge. Besides including useful pedagogical features, the volume explores:

- How Indigenous feminist conversations have evolved

- What political practices have developed over time

- Stories, theories, and histories about Indigenous women’s experiences

An Introduction to Indigenous Feminisms provides students with ways to practice Indigenous ways of thinking, learning, especially those studying Gender Studies, Social and Cultural History, Sociology and Politics.
