nEssential reading for those of us working in the university and inside institutions that help the state wage war...While the conversations are informed by histories of Black, Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous struggle, they unfold in unexpected ways and in the real-time of our perilous and shifting grounds - Tiffany Lethabo King, author of The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studiesn n This dynamic collection of conversations includes reflections by Black and Indigenous organizers and educators on the historical and ongoing violence and theft that they have endured and continue to resist. n n Both raw and disciplined, the wide-ranging discussions explore spirituality, environmentalism, security, freedom, autonomy, anti-Blackness, and family. The volume is an invitation to dismantle colonial oppressions and a step towards building a future free from the harmful legacies of racism and genocide. n nENGAGE includes contributions from under-platformed writers from diverse political perspectives.
