These do not represent new demands for social justice and treaty rights, which Indigenous groups have sought for centuries. But owing to the extraordinary visibility of contemporary activism, Indigenous people have been newly cast as terrorists—a designation that justifies severe measures of policing, exploitation, and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Red Scare\u003c\/em\u003e investigates the intersectional scope of these four movements, and the broader context of the treatment of Indigenous social justice movements as threats to neoliberal and imperialist social orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Red Scare\u003c\/em\u003e, Joanne Barker shows how US and Canadian leaders leverage the fear-driven discourses of terrorism to allow for extreme responses to Indigenous activists, framing them as threats to social stability and national security. The alignment of Indigenous movements now with broader struggles against sexual, police, and environmental violence puts them at the forefront of new intersectional solidarities in prominent ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe activist-as-terrorist framing is cropping up everywhere, but the historical and political complexities of Indigenous movements and state responses are unique. Indigenous criticisms of state policy, resource extraction and contamination, intense surveillance, and neoliberal values are met with outsized and shocking measures of militarized policing, environmental harm, and sexual violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Red Scare\u003c\/em\u003e provides students and readers with a concise and thorough survey of these movements and their links to broader organizing; the common threads of historical violence against Indigenous people; and the relevant alternatives we can find in Indigenous forms of governance and relationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000724439276,"sku":"9780520303188","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6252213482373.jpg?v=1763300650"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/joanne-barker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
