Description

This book builds on the perspective that, for Indigenous peoples, relations to the land are familial, intimate, intergenerational, spiritual, instructive, and life nourishing, and it is these relations that Western societies sought to destroy as part of their colonial projects of territorial conquest and exploitation of resources. Positioning storytelling as a research methodology and a model of decolonial practice, this edited collection seeks to explore the following key questions: how does Indigenous storytelling contribute to understanding Indigenous identity and the crucial role of the land in Indigenous ways of life? How can Indigenous storytelling subvert colonial narratives of the land? How can Indigenous storytelling contribute to addressing colonial exploitations of the land and its resources? Can Indigenous storytelling become a rich mode for the investigation of current climate crises? And, finally, how does storytelling assist Indigenous peoples in restoring their intimate relations to the land and its natural gifts? Through critical analysis of a unique range of Indigenous storytelling practices, including fiction, performative art, new media platforms, archaeological findings and personal live-experienced stories, this collection aims to examine the interplay between colonialism and current environmental challenges, and to expose the impacts – past, present, and future – of Western worldviews on Indigenous connections to the land, whilst simultaneously bringing to the fore Indigenous ethos of care and land custodianship.

Francesca Mussi has recently completed a Leverhulme ECR fellowship in the Department of Humanities at Northumbria University, which has led to a monograph, Good Medicine Stories, exploring how the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission relates to Indigenous epistemologies and storytelling practices. This is under contract with Liverpool University Press. Mussi’s first monograph, Literary Legacies of the South African TRC: Fictional Journeys into Trauma, Truth and Reconciliation (Palgrave, 2020) draws on her doctoral research conducted at the University of Sussex (2013-2017) and makes a significant contribution to South African studies, demonstrating the value of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a literary subject in contemporary South African fiction. She also has considerable experience in reviewing postcolonial-related books for journals such as Textual Practice, Contemporary Women’s Writing, Le Simplegadi, Testimony Between Historyand Memory, the Journal of Commonwealth Literature, and the Journal of Postcolonial Writing. Currently, she is “Cultore della Materia” in English Literature at the University of Pisa, Italy, and she is Senior Editor for the Postcolonial Studies Association Newsletter.
