Indigenous Women's Voices: 20 Years on from Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s Decolonizing Methodologies
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
When Linda Tuhiwai Smith's Decolonizing Methodologies was first published, it ignited a passion for research change that respected Indigenous peoples and knowledges, and campaigned to reclaim Indigenous ways of knowing and being. At a time when Indigenous voices were profoundly marginalised, the book advocated for an Indigenous viewpoint which represented a daily struggle to be heard, and to find its place in academia.
Twenty years on, this collection celebrates the breadth and depth of how Indigenous writers are shaping the decolonizing research world today. With contributions from Indigenous female researchers, this collection offers the much needed academic space to distinguish methodological approaches, and overcome the novelty confines of being marginal voices.

“The question of whether pakana could exist… has been a double burden as it asks to prove our existence and identity at the same time.”
A truly profound collection of essays that demonstrates the importance of Indigenous feminism and how women are essential to the nurturing of children; people; communities; the earth we stand on.
In particular, the purely feminine rage heard and felt in Jacinta Vanderfeen’s ‘Black panopticon: who wins with lateral violence’ echoed my own, with its accounts of lateral violence and black elitism in the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
I loved this - but it’s not light reading.
4/5 stars.
