Decolonizing solidarity

‘Decolonizing Solidarity’ is a thorough examination of the problems that can arise when activists from colonial backgrounds seek to be politically supportive of indigenous struggles. Blending key theoretical and practical questions, Clare Land argues that the impulses that drive middle-class settler activists to support indigenous peoples will not lead to successful alliances and meaningful social change without an essential process of public political action and critical self-reflection. Based on a wealth of in-depth interviews and original research, with a focus on Australia, ‘Decolonizing Solidarities’ provides a vital resource for anyone involved in indigenous activism or scholarship.
