The Solidarity Encounter: Women, Activism, and Creating Non-Colonizing Relations

On the heels of recent revelations of past and ongoing injustices, reconciliation and solidarity by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people has become even more urgent. But it is a complex endeavour. The Solidarity Encounter takes readers into the fraught terrain of solidarity organizing in settler colonial North America. The investigation grapples with a key tension: colonizing behaviours that result when white women centre their own goals and frameworks as they participate in activism with Indigenous women and groups. However, the book concludes with hope, offering a constructive framework for non-colonizing solidarity that can be applied in any context of unequal power.
