Summary
Global Indigenous Communities is a wide-ranging examination of global Indigenous communities that continue to suffer from colonization and assimilation issues, including intergenerational trauma. The scholarship is interdisciplinary; it is not easily categorized as sociology, anthropology, ethnography, or philosophy, but cuts across all of these disciplines, as well as Indigenous methodologies. The book not only presents an academic study of Indigenous issues, covering Indigenous community life, religion, the environment, economic matters, education, and healthcare, but also incorporates contributions from Carol Locust, EdD, that reflect on her lifetime of experience in Indigenous education and healthcare. Each studied prism of Indigenous life is revealed to be impacted by the experience of intergenerational trauma that results from continued colonization. Ultimately, this book aims to bridge the communication gap between Western and Indigenous scholarship and readership, artfully combining Indigenous approaches with a traditional academic style. Lavonna L. Lovern is Professor at Valdosta State University, USA, where she teaches philosophy and religious studies and Native American and Indigenous studies. She has published on American Indian issues in health and disability, including a previous book with Dr. Locust entitled Native American Communities on Health and Disability: Borderland Dialogues (2013). Recent publications also include Fostering a Climate of Inclusion in the College Classroom: The Missing Voice of the Humanities (2018), indigenous Perspectives on Difference: A Case for Inclusion (2017, Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies), and Critical Pedagogy for Native American Education Policy: Habermas, Freire, and Emancipatory Education (2015, co-authored with F.E. Knowles). With contributions by Carol Locust, EdD Carol Locust, EdD, is Eastern Cherokee. She has worked with various tribes throughout her career, traveling internationally to speak to Indigenous issues of health, disability, and education.
