- Description
- Smith places Native American women at the center of her analysis of sexual violence. She describes the impact of the abuses inflicted on Native American children at state-sanctioned boarding schools from the 1880s to the 1980s: the widespread appropriation of Indian cultural practices by whites and other non-Natives: environmental racism: and population control. Smith connects these and other examples of historical and contemporary colonialism to the high rates of violence against Native American women-as a group.
