Synopsis

The book dismantles prevalent misconceptions surrounding Indigenous peoples' epistemologies on peace, arguing that the peace epistemologies which Indigenous peoples have built do not correspond to the past but are changing, living theories created and recreated through praxis. By examining the knowledge that members of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women (CONAMI) have built through their collective struggle in favor of Indigenous self-determination, this work illustrates how Indigenous women play a central role in revitalizing the worldviews of their peoples and fostering social change.
