Summary note
"Against Extraction traces the story of a vibrant tradition of Ojibwe writing and art-making in Minneapolis-St. Paul, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, in order to challenge the supposed stability and permanence of everyday colonial life. In this account, modernist Indigenous texts are not a minor cultural artifacts of a city's cultural history, but are theoretical engines that antagonize the political and cultural fantasies that establish colonial world as a given. Ojibwe artists also interrogate the logics of colonial extraction that undergird relations between, for example, the cities' large Somali, Hmong, Hispanic and white populations. Linking readings of Indigenous cultural production with legal and cultural theory, Against Extraction shows that the ways we narrate histories of places are intimately bound up with the extractive colonial systems that reproduce the violence that unfolds within and through them"-- Provided by publisher.
