Publisher Synopsis
A Choice Outstanding Title, 2013. "A much-needed survey of Indigenous women's work in the settler nations of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States from the colonial period to recent times. Williams' collection does some heavy lifting for Indigenous women's comparative labour history. Readers will find its contents incredibly helpful in rounding out an undergraduate history course. . . . The book will no doubt occupy an important place at the intersections of labour and Indigenous history for some time."--Labour/Le Travail "This intellectually engaging anthology compiles an excellent array of essays revolving around Indigenous women's relation to labor in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The geographic range allows the reader to see the commonalities and differences between women's work experiences in these various national contexts."--Renya K. Ramirez, coeditor of Gendered Citizenships: Transnational Perspectives on Knowledge Production, Political Activism, and Culture "Readers in search of compelling works in the fields of indigenous studies, women's studies, and women's history will find this work to be an absolute treasure. Recommended."--Choice "This book hopes to spark readers to envision a more just way to resist the postcolonial and neoliberal forces that continue to challenge the rights of indigenous women. Throughout history, indigenous women have stood firmly as warriors, preserving the values of culture, family, and community. They stand on the shoulders of the women who have come before them. This book allows their voices to be heard, bringing their wisdom to the call for peace and justice."--Social Service Review "This book of lively and engaging essays looks afresh at the labor relations that have shaped colonizer nations. It provides a cutting-edge text, as well as a useful index, which will guide scholars and students alike."--Western Historical Quarterly"This volume breaks down the divide between wage work and unwaged work and between production and reproduction, thus stretching the boundaries of labor history, women's history and indigenous history all at once, and doing so in a transnational context."--The Journal of American History "Indigenous Women and Work brings important historical information to light about women who have been marginalized and excluded from history,"--Labor Studies Journal "A comprehensive collection of essays spanning the late 18th to late 20th centuries, which detail the lives of working indigenous women in the four settler states of Canada, Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa and the United States. A broad and rich contribution to the field."--The Canadian Journal of Native Studies Read more...
