Book Description:
‘Disjunctures’ demonstrates the transformative potential of Indigenous political traditions in settler states that seek reconciliation. Though there exist irreconcilable differences between Indigenous and dominant Euro-modern political structures and identities, Yann Allard-Tremblay argues that these disjunctures highlight a way forward. In contrast to Euro-modern politics, Indigenous ways of thinking and acting politically emphasize harmony, not just among humans but within the broader ecological context. Reconciliation thus requires a deep transformation of political theory and conducts to recenter decolonial Indigenous political traditions.
