This book argues that there is a need to develop greater
indigenous-led intergenerational resilience in order to meet the
challenges posed by contemporary crises of climate change, cultural
clashes, and adversity. In today’s media, the climate crisis is kept
largely separate and distinct from the violent cultural clashes
unfolding on the grounds of religion and migration, but each is
similarly symptomatic of the erasure of the human connection to place
and the accompanying tensions between generations and cultures. This
book argues that both forms of crisis are intimately related,
under-scored and driven by the structures of white supremacism which
at their most immediate and visible, manifest as the discipline of
black bodies, and at more fundamental and far-reaching proportions,
are about the power, privilege and patterns of thinking associated
with but no longer exclusive to white people. In the face of such
crisis, it is essential to bring the experience and wisdom of Elders
and traditional knowledge keepers together with the contemporary
realities and vision of youth. This book’s inclusive and critical
perspective on Indigenous-led intergenerational resilience will be
valuable to Indigenous and non-Indigenous interdisciplinary scholars
working on human-ecological resilience.
