This analysis by an Indigenous feminist scholar challenges the United Nations-based human rights agendas and colonial theory that until now have shaped Indigenous models of self-determination. Gender inequality and gender violence, Dian Million argues, are critically important elements in the process of self-determination. Million contends that nation-state relations are influenced by a theory of trauma ascendant with the rise of neoliberalism. Such use of trauma theory regarding human rights corresponds to a therapeutic narrative by Western governments negotiating with Indigenous nations as they seek self-determination. Focusing on Canada and drawing comparisons with the United States and Australia, Million brings a genealogical understanding of trauma against a historical filter. Illustrating how Indigenous people are positioned differently in Canada, Australia, and the United States in their articulation of trauma, the author particularly addresses the violence against women as a language within a greater politic. The book introduces an Indigenous feminist critique of this violence against the medicalized framework of addressing trauma and looks to the larger goals of decolonization. Noting the influence of humanitarian psychiatry, Million goes on to confront the implications of simply dismissing Indigenous healing and storytelling traditions. Therapeutic Nations is the first book to demonstrate affect and trauma's wide-ranging historical origins in an Indigenous setting, offering insights into community healing programs. The author's theoretical sophistication and original research make the book relevant across a range of disciplines as it challenges key concepts of American Indian and Indigenous studies"--Provided by publisher.Critical issues in indigenous studiesHealing in an age of indigenous human rightsIndigenous peoplesCanadaGovernment relationsIndigenous peoplesGovernment relationsCross-cultural studiesIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsCanadaIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsCross-cultural studiesIndigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etcCanadaIndigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etcCross-cultural studiesTruth commissionsCross-cultural studiesSOCIAL SCIENCEGeneralbisacshIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsfast(OCoLC)fst00970219Indigenous peoplesGovernment relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00970236Indigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etcfast(OCoLC)fst00970247Truth commissionsfast(OCoLC)fst01158251Canadafasthttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkMHVW4rfVXPrhVP4VwG3Indigenous peoplesGovernment relations.Indigenous peoplesGovernment relationsIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsIndigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etc.Indigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etc.Truth commissionsSOCIAL SCIENCEGeneral.Indigenous peoplesCivil rights.Indigenous peoplesGovernment relations.Indigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etc.Truth commissions.323.1197071SOC001000SOC032000bisacshMillion Dian1950-1803264MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNZ-WeVULBOOK9910965340603321Therapeutic nations4350019UNINA
