Description for Reader On the heels of recent revelations of past and ongoing injustices, the ongoing work of reconciliation and solidarity by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people has become even more urgent. But it is a complex endeavour. Grounded in a unique blend of scholarship, activist interviews, and autoethnography, The Solidarity Encounter breaks the theory/practice divide by taking readers into the fraught terrain of solidarity organizing in settler colonial North America. Political solidarity across difference is among the most crucial and challenging concerns of our time. Multi-issue coalitions such as Idle No More, #NoDAPL, MMIWG2SQ, Black Lives Matter, and Fridays for Future all depend on the collaboration of diverse communities and, for white women especially, on avoiding harmful detours into historically derived helping behaviours. Carol Lynne DArcangelis grapples with this key problem: colonizing behaviours that result when white womens self-interests take centre stage as they participate in activist work with Indigenous women and groups. The Solidarity Encounter concludes by offering a constructive framework for developing non-colonizing solidarity that can be applied in any context of unequal power. This astute expos Description for Teachers/Educators This book is for all community activists interested in working across social, economic, and political divides for a common cause. Scholars and students of womens and gender studies, Indigenous studies, social movements, and critical race studies will also find this an indispensable work.
