Therapeutic Nations: Healing in an Age of Indigenous Human Rights

"Through a judicious engagement with narratives of "trauma" and the ways that such are leveraged by Indigenous peoples and nation-states (particularly, Canada, the U.S. and Australia), Million queries both depoliticized notions of trauma and the dominant human rights discourse that Indigenous peoples are taking up to pursue self-determination. The book is not easy, and I do not think she does the Truth and Reconciliation Commission justice, but it is brimming with theoretical and practical insights as Million brings writers like Foucault and Spivak into dialogue with Indigenous feminisms and on-the-ground histories." - Steve Heinrichs, Director, Mennonite Church Canada Indigenous Relations
