Description
Summary:Rauna Kuokkanen is an Indigenous – Sámi – feminist scholar and activist whose book Restructuring Relations offers a radically liberating vision of indigenous self-determination that “seeks to restructure all relations of domination.” Such restructuring needs to respond to external oppression, in particular in the form of settler colonialism and extractivist global capitalism, but also to oppression internal to indigenous communities, especially patriarchal gender hierarchies and gender-based violence against women and people who do not conform with heteropatriarchal norms.
