Spoken Word Resistance

Spoken Word Resistance highlights the powerful role of indigenous spoken word as a tool for political activism and cultural resistance. It examines how poetry and oral traditions are employed by indigenous communities worldwide to challenge dominant power structures and reclaim linguistic sovereignty.

The book argues that spoken word is not merely artistic expression but a critical form of political resistance, challenging systemic inequalities. By delving into the preservation and revitalization of indigenous languages, the book reveals how speaking one's native tongue becomes a defiant act of cultural assertion.

The book explores these themes through case studies of indigenous poets and speakers, analyzing their techniques and strategies. It also investigates how spoken word mobilizes communities and challenges dominant narratives.

The book emphasizes the importance of understanding indigenous perspectives on self-determination, environmental stewardship, and social justice. Using transcripts, interviews, and ethnographic research, it presents a fact-based analysis in an accessible style.

Beginning with concepts like decolonization and oral traditions, Spoken Word Resistance progresses through examinations of specific artists, community mobilization, and challenges to power structures. The book culminates by discussing the practical implications of its findings, advocating for greater support for indigenous artists and activists.
