Description

In this revolutionary text, prominent Native American studies scholar and activist Andrea Smith reveals the connections between different forms of violence-perpetrated by the state and by society at large-and documents their impact on Native women. Beginning with the impact of the abuses inflicted on Native American children at state-sanctioned boarding schools from the 1880s to the 1980s, Smith adroitly expands our conception of violence to include the widespread appropriation of Indian cultural practices by whites and other non-Natives; environmental racism; and population control. Smith deftly connects these and other examples of historical and contemporary colonialism to the high rates of violence against Native American women-the most likely to suffer from poverty-related illness and to survive rape and partner abuse. Smith also outlines radical and innovative strategies for eliminating gendered violence.

Praîse forConquest

Winner of the 2005 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award

“Andrea Smîth offers a powerfu anaysîs of sexua vîoence that reaches far beyond the domînant theoretîca understandîngs, brîîanty weavîng together femînîst expanatîons of vîoence agaînst Natîve women, the hîs-torîca data regardîng coonîaîsm and genocîde, and a strong crîtîque of the current responses to the gender vîoence agaînst women of coor. As a pas-sîonate actîvîst and a respected schoar, Smîth brîngs her experîence workîng on the ground to thîs împortant project, renderîngConquestone of the most sîgnîicant contrîbutîons to the îterature în Natîve Studîes, femînîst theory, and socîa movement theory în recent years.” —Beth E. Rîchîe, author ofCompelled to Crime: The Gender Entrapment of Battered Black Women

“Whether ît îs our reîance on the crîmîna justîce system to protect women from vîoence or the egîtîmacy of the Unîted States as a coonîa natîon-state, Andrea Smîth’s încîsîve and courageous anaysîs cuts through many of our accepted truths and reveas a new way of knowîng rooted în Natîve women’shîstorîesofstrugge.Morethanacaforactîon,thîsbookpro-vîdes sophîstîcated strategîes and practîca exampes of organîzîng that sîmutaneousytakeonstateandînterpersonavîoence.Conquestîs a must-read not ony for those concerned wîth vîoence agaînst women and Natîve sovereîgnty, but aso for antîracîst, reproductîve rîghts, envîron-menta justîce, antîprîson, îmmîgrant rîghts, and antîwar actîvîsts.” —Juîa Sudbury, edîtor ofGlobal Lockdown: Race, Gender, and the Prison-Industrial Complex

“Gîve thanks for the very great honor of îstenîng to Andrea Smîth. Thîs book wî burn a hoe rîght through your mînd wîth îts accurate anaysîs and the concîse compîatîon of înformatîon that makes ît the irst of îts kînd.Conquestîs not ony înstructîve, ît îs heaîng. I want every Indîan I know to read ît.” —Chrystos, artîst, poet, and actîvîst

“Conquestîs the book Aborîgîna women have been waîtîng for. It îs the nonictîon work we a wîsh we had the tîme and încînatîon to research

and wrîte, the book we a wîsh had been wîthîn easy reach durîng the ong years of our educatîon. Andrea Smîth has not ony metîcuousy researched the pace of rape and vîoence agaînst Indîgenous women în the coonîa process, but she îs the irst to fuy artîcuate the connectîons between vîoence agaînst the earth, vîoence agaînst women, and North Amerîca’s terrîbe încînatîon toward war. Every sînge adut human beîng on thîs contînent needs to read thîs book. If we dîd, we woud a ind the strength to face our hîstory and ater îts course.” —Lee Marace, author ofI Am Woman: A Native Perspective on Sociology and Feminism

“Andrea Smîth has no fear. She chaenges conventîona actîvîst thînkîng about goba and oca, sexîsm and racîsm, genocîde and împerîaîsm. But what’s more, în every chapter she trîes to answer the key questîon: What îs to be done?Conquestîs unsettîng, ambîtîous, brîîant, dîsturbîng: read ît, debate ît, use ît.” —Ruth Wîson Gîmore, The Graduate Center, Cîty Unîversîty of New York

“Conquestradîcay rethînks the hîstorîca scope and dîmensîonaîty of ‘sexua vîoence,’ a hîstorîca vector of bodîy domînatîon that îs too often reduced to unîversaîzîng—hence racîst—narratîves of gendered oppressîon and resîstance. Offerîng a breathtakîng geneaogy of whîte supremacîst genocîde and coonîzatîon în North Amerîca, thîs book provîdes a theoretîca mode that speaks urgenty to a broad contînu-um of poîtîca and înteectua tradîtîons. In thîs încîsîve and stun-nîngy comprehensîve work, we earn how the proîferatîon of sexua vîoence as a normaîzed feature of modern Euro-Amerîcan patrîar-chîes îs înseparabe from vîoence agaînst Indîgenous women, and womenofcoor.InConquest, Andrea Smîth has presented us wîth an epocha chaenge, one that shoud productîvey dîsrupt and perhaps transform our vîsîons of îberatîon and radîca freedom.” —Dyan Rodríguez, Unîversîty of Caîfornîa, Rîversîde

“InConquest, Andrea Smîth reveas the deep connectîons between vîoence agaînst Natîve women and state poîcîes of envîronmenta racîsm, sterîîza-tîon, and other medîca experîmentatîon. Her exposé of how coonîa îdeo-ogy approprîates Natîve spîrîtuaîty for the purposes of sexua expoîtatîon îs

sîmpy stunnîng. A must-read for everyone concerned about Natîve peope and our Natîve word.” —Haunanî-Kay Trask, author of From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawai’i

“Conquestîs not for those who lînch from an honest examînatîon of whîte supremacîst hîstory, or who shy away from today’s controversîes în the reproductîve heath and antî-vîoence movements. Thîs book îs a tough, thoughtfu, and passîonate anaysîs of the coonîzatîon of Amerîca and the resîstance of Indîgenous women. Andrea Smîth îs one of thîs country’s premîere înteectuas and a good od-fashîoned organîzer—a rare combî-natîon that îumînates her praxîs and gîft to socîa justîce movement buîdîng în the twenty-irst century.” —Loretta Ross, coauthor ofUndivided Rights: Women of Color Organize for Reproductive Justice and cofounder of Sîster Song Women of Coor Reproductîve Heath Coectîve
