Sovereign Bodies, Sovereign Spaces: Urban Indigenous Health Activism in the United States and Australia by Maria John

Critical Indigeneities

“John argues that we should see the huge movement of Indigenous peoples to urban centers after World War II as a medical migration. In showcasing this rarely understood facet of Indigenous history, John reveals how American Indian, Alaska Native, and Australian Aboriginal peoples define and fight within a framework of sovereignty to advance their well-being.”—Dian Million, University of Washington

“A brilliant comparative study of Indigenous health activism, Sovereign Bodies, Sovereign Spacesreveals how the health of bodies depends on asserting the sovereignty of those bodies. Maria John movingly narrates the multiple Indigenous histories of embodied resistance to colonial harms and colonial pathologies. We learn how Indigenous peoples come together to achieve Indigenous health despite the continuing structural violence of the settler state. This is what it really means to decolonize health care.”—Warwick Anderson, author of Colonial Pathologies
