Decolonizing Solidarity

An ambitious and important book that comes at a pivotal time ... I recommend reading it, reflecting, and reading it again. * Canadian Journal of Education * This timely and important book by Clare Land offers a critical resource to assist a new generation of activists ... provides urgently needed and critically important reflections on the practices of solidarity activism that push beyond liberal models of solidarity politics. * E3W Review of Books * Land provides meaningful and insightful accounts of community-based education initiatives necessary for solidarity movements. * McGill Journal of Education * Land's book is an important contribution to an emergent non-Indigenous progressive research agenda ... provides an opportunity to reflect on the nature of solidarity work more generally, posing broader questions of involvement and self-interest in solidarity politics and intersectional work for activists. * Overland Literary Journal * [T]his book should be compulsory reading for non-Indigenous scholars, including postgraduate students, whose research interests revolve around Indigenous communities. * State Crime * In this excellent book, Land covers an exceptional breadth of issues with considerable aplomb. It is a provocative and lively read, rich with data that brings indigenous voices to the fore. * Damien Short, School of Advanced Study * Excellent... The book is written in a way that is accessible to a range of allies outside academic circles and speaks to real case studies. * Linda Tuhiwai Smith, author of Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples * A thoughtful and thought-provoking book. Both profound and practical, Land poses vital questions to the reader interested in solidarity and social change. * Patta Scott-Villiers, Institute of Development Studies * A nuanced and insightful examination of the complexity and challenges of being an ally to Indigenous struggles. It serves as an excellent and much-needed guide for all of us working for, with, or on behalf of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. * Paul Kivel, educator, activist and author of Uprooting Racism *
