Decolonizing museums : representing native America in national and tribal museums / by Lonetree, Amy,author.(CARDINAL)853076;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-211) and index.Introduction: Native Americans and museums -- Collaboration matters : the Minnesota Historical Society, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and the creation of a "hybrid tribal museum" -- Exhibiting Native America at the National Museum of the American Indian : collaborations and missed opportunities -- The Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways : decolonization, truth telling, and addressing historical unresolved grief -- Conclusion: Transforming museums into "places that matter" for indigenous peoples."Museum exhibitions focusing on Native American history have long been curator controlled. However, a shift is occurring, giving Indigenous people a larger role in determining exhibition content. In Decolonizing Museums, Amy Lonetree examines the complexities of these new relationships with an eye toward exploring how museums can grapple with centuries of unresolved trauma as they tell the stories of Native peoples. She investigates how museums can honor an Indigenous worldview and way of knowing, challenge stereotypical representations, and speak the hard truths of colonization within exhibition spaces to address the persistent legacies of historical unresolved grief in Native communities. Lonetree focuses on the representation of Native Americans in exhibitions at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, the Mille Lacs Indian Museum in Minnesota, and the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways in Michigan. Drawing on her experiences as an Indigenous scholar and museum professional, Lonetree analyzes exhibition texts and images, records of exhibition development, and interviews with staff members. She addresses historical and contemporary museum practices and charts possible paths for the future curation and presentation of Native lifeways."--Publisher's description.

Decolonizing therapy : oppression, historical trauma, and politicizing your practice / by Mullan, Jennifer,PsyD,author.(CARDINAL)896747;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 407-433) and index."To better understand the mental health oppression and institutional violence that exists today, we must become familiar with the root of disembodiment from our histories, homelands, and healing practices. Decolonizing Therapy is a love letter and a call to action for helpers, therapists, and the space-holders struggling inside the mental health industrial complex. Colonization cuts us off from our histories, our bodies, one another, and the land. It separates us from home. It's time to return to the root. Decolonizing Therapy invites you to: remember and reckon with your individual and collective past; reclaim and restore ancient medicine; reconnect with what's lost and rebuild a new model of mental health; repair harm and reimagine healing. Ignoring collective global trauma makes delivering effective therapy impossible; not knowing how to interrogate privilege (as practitioner, client, or both) makes healing elusive; and shying away from understanding how we as professionals may be participating in oppression is irresponsible. This work is not for the faint of heart. It's for the brave of heart. The fiercely loving. Those who are unwilling to settle for anything less than healing and liberation for all. Decolonizing Therapy shines a bright and loving light on the core wound of colonialism so that real healing can begin"--Front flap.

Decolonizing arts-based methodologies : researching the African diaspora / by Royster, Paula D.,author.(CARDINAL)853298;
"The genealogy of racism dates back to 610 AD when Islamic jihadists invented whiteness as a religious justification for deracinating and enslaving African people out of East African and into Southeastern Europe for more than 1,300 years. Through a new interdisciplinary research methodology, Ancestorology, a taxonomy of Western cultural and visual productions of history are juxtaposed with the social stratifications of the African Diaspora to arrive at a new interpretation of the historical narrative. Decolonizing Arts-Based Methodologies: Researching the African Diaspora provokes critical analytical thought between the historical narrative and current public discourse in Western societies where people of African descent exist. The importance of this work begins the process of unlearning Western ways of knowing and seeing through hegemonic productions of knowledge and by assigning new values to humanity's collective memory"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Silence in the Western canon -- Afrocentrism & Ancesterology -- Traditional historic methods -- Cultural anthropology -- Cultural studies methodologies -- The geography of racial bias -- Epistemology of knowledge.

The anti-racist writing workshop : how to decolonize the creative classroom / by Chavez, Felicia Rose,author.(CARDINAL)859966;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 196-202).The Antiracist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering artistic communities for a new millennium of writers. Inspired by June Jordan's 1995 Poetry for the People, here is a blueprint for a 21st-century workshop model that protects and platforms writers of color. Instead of earmarking dusty anthologies, imagine workshop participants Skyping with contemporary writers of difference. Instead of tolerating bigoted criticism, imagine workshop participants moderating their own feedback sessions. Instead of yielding to the red-penned judgement of instructors, imagine workshop participants citing their own text in dialogue. The Antiracist Writing Workshop is essential reading for anyone looking to revolutionize the old workshop model into an enlightened, democratic counterculture.

A programme of absolute disorder : decolonizing the museum / by Vergès, Françoise,1952-author.(CARDINAL)855977; Gilroy, Paul,1956-author of foreword.(CARDINAL)681312; Thackway, Melissa,translator.; Pluto Press,publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Foreword -- Preface -- Introduction -- A programme of absolute disorder -- The museum, a battleground -- The Louvre, Napoleon, seizure, and the enslaved -- Black is the model, white is the frame -- A museum without objects -- Epilogue : decolonial tactics."The Western museum is a battleground--a terrain of ideological, political and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself? In A Programme ofAbsolute Disorder, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage. Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a 'programme of absolute disorder', inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed"--

The rise and fall of the British Empire / by James, Lawrence,1943-(CARDINAL)159638;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Great Britain's geopolitical role in the global scheme of things has undergone many radical changes over the last four centuries. Once a maritime superpower and ruler of half the world, Britain's current position as an isolated, economically fragile island squabbling with her European neighbors often seems difficult to accept, if not comprehend. Although still afforded nominal status through membership of groups such as G7 and the retention of a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, the simple truth is that Britain has been resting on her laurels since 1945, if not before. The British Empire is both cause and effect of this spectacular transformation. At first an exercise in straightforward profit-making, foreign exploration and colonization by British settlers, traders, and entrepreneurs soon gave rise to serious moral misgivings about the exploitation of native peoples and resources. But the riches to be gained from empire-building were always a powerful argument in its favor, although changes in the domestic social and political climate made benevolent imperialism a more desired objective. The lure of profit was tempered by an urge to uplift and civilize. Those responsible for the glories of empire were also driven by questionable motives. Personal fame and fortune formed an inevitable and attractive by-product of the conquest of new territories, and many empire-builders felt an unimpeachable sense of destiny. The achievements, however, cannot be denied, and during its heyday the British Empire was the envy of the world. Revisionist historians make much of the stunted potential of the former colonies, but as always, the truth lies somewhere between the two extremes.

Indigenous critical reflections on traditional ecological knowledge / by Jacobs, Lara A.,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 375-428)."With more than fifty contributors, Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems--relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility--that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges. Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge is an essential resource for students, academics, members of Tribal, state, and federal governments, Indigenous communities, and non-Indigenous allies as well as a valuable addition to environmental and Indigenous studies collections"-- Provided by publisher.
