Indigenous Justice and Gender
This new volume offers a broad overview of topics pertaining to
gender-related health, violence, and healing. Employing a
strength-based approach (as opposed to a deficit model), the
chapters address the resiliency of Indigenous women and two-spirit
people in the face of colonial violence and structural racism. The
book centers the concept of \"rematriation\"-the concerted effort to
place power, peace, and decision making back into the female space,
land, body, and sovereignty-as a decolonial practice to combat
injustice. Chapters include such topics as reproductive health,
diabetes, missing and murdered Indigenous women, Indigenous women
in the academy, and Indigenous women and food sovereignty. As part
of the Indigenous Justice series, this book provides an overview of
the topic, geared toward undergraduate and graduate classes.

Commodity Activism
Buying (RED) products - from Gap T-shirts to Apple--to fight AIDS. Drinking a Caring Cup of coffee at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to support fair trade. Driving a Toyota Prius to fight global warming. All these commonplace activities point to a central feature of contemporary culture: the most common way we participate in social activism is by buying something. Roopali Mukherjee and Sarah Banet-Weiser have gathered an exemplary group of scholars to explore this new landscape through a series of case studies of commodity activism. Drawing from television, film, consumer activist campaigns, and cultures of celebrity and corporate patronage, the essays take up examples such as the Dove Real Beauty campaign, sex positive retail activism, ABC's Extreme Home Makeover, and Angelina Jolie as multinational celebrity missionary. Exploring the complexities embedded in contemporary political activism, Commodity Activism reveals the workings of power and resistance as well as citizenship and subjectivity in the neoliberal era. Refusing to simply position politics in opposition to consumerism, this collection teases out the relationships between material cultures and political subjectivities, arguing that activism may itself be transforming into a branded commodity.
