Iskwewak Kah Ki Yaw Ni Wahkomakanak: Neither Indian Princesses Nor Easy Squaws

Autor Janice Acoose
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2016
Now in its second edition, this ground-breaking work of literary and cultural criticism analyses representations of Indigenous women in Canadian literature. By deconstructing stereotypical images of the Indian princess and easy squaw, Janice Acoose calls attention to the racist and sexist depictions of Indigenous women in popular literature. Blending personal narrative and literary criticism, this revised edition draws a strong connection between the persistent negative cultural attitudes fostered by those stereotypical representations and the missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. Acoose decolonises written English by interweaving her own story with reflections on the self-determination of her female ancestors and by highlighting influential Indigenous female writers who have resisted cultural stereotypes and reclaimed the literary field as their own. This important text urges both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to move beyond words to challenge the harmful attitudes that condone violence against Indigenous women. Thoroughly updated and featuring new photographs, questions for critical thought, and a discussion of Indigenous womens literary voices that have emerged in the past twenty years, the second edition of Iskwewak is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of Indigenous studies, womens studies, and literature.
