About the Book

In Not Sacred, Not Squaws, Cherry Smiley analyses colonization and proposes a decolonized feminism enlivened by Indigenous feminist theory. Building on the work of grassroots radical feminist theorists, Cherry Smiley outlines a female-centered theory of colonization and describes the historical and contemporary landscape in which male violence against Indigenous women in Canada and New Zealand is the norm. She calls out ‘sex work’ as a patriarchal colonizing practice and a form of male violence against women. Questioning her own uncritical acceptance of the historical social and political status of Indigenous women in Canada – which she now recognizes as male-centred Indigenous theorizing – she examines the roles of culture and tradition in the oppression of Indigenous women and constructs an alternative decolonizing feminist methodology. This book is a refreshing feminist contemporary challenge to the patriarchal ideology that governs our world and a vigorous and irreverent defence against the attempts to silence Indigenous radical feminists.

Review :
“In celebrating cultural differences, Cherry Smiley calls us all to take the courage to work together to challenge and change the patriarchy of male privilege, refusing any cultural practices that restrict, limit, or discriminate against women and girls because of their sex; all cultures and traditions are open for criticism and change.” —Judy Atkinson, AM, Professor Emeritus and author of Trauma Trails, Recreating Song Lines: The Transgenerational Effects of Trauma in Indigenous Australia, Founder We Al-li
