Black Feminist Anthropology, 25th Anniversary Edition

Theory, Politics, Praxis, and Poetics

Rutgers University Press

Black Feminist Anthropology: Theory, Politics, Praxis and Poetics established a new canon that guaranteed the voices, theorizing, and experiences of Black Feminist anthropologists could shine out loud in ways that 25 years later are still “healing,” “life-saving,” and an affirmation of these transformative and decolonized contributions.

Unsettling Mobility

Mediating Mi'kmaw Sovereignty in Post-contact Nova Scotia

The University of Arizona Press

Since contact, attempts by institutions such as the British Crown and the Catholic Church to assimilate indigenous peoples have served to mark those people as “Other” than the settler majority. In Unsettling Mobility, Michelle A. Lelièvre examines how mobility has complicated, disrupted, and—at times—served this contradiction at the core of the settler colonial project. Drawing on archaeological, ethnographic, and archival fieldwork conducted with the Pictou Landing First Nation—one of thirteen Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia—Lelièvre argues that, for the British Crown and the Catholic Church, mobility has been required not only for the settlement of the colony but also for the management and conversion of the Mi’kmaq.
