Abstract
- "Scales of Resistance: Indigenous Women’s Transborder Activism" by Maylei Blackwell is a comprehensive analysis of Indigenous women's activism and their navigation of power structures related to patriarchy, race, ethnicity, gender, the state, and capitalism. The book explores the concept of scale and how Indigenous activists strategically interweave within and between multiple scales of power. It also examines the complexities of Indigenous autonomy, the challenges faced by Indigenous women within feminist discourse, and the translocal geographies of indigeneity. The book sheds light on the often unseen and long-term activism of Indigenous women and will be valuable for scholars in various fields. [Extracted from the article]
