Produktbeschreibung
Listening for Change challenges those who wish to lead in healing and reconciliation with Native American communities, showing the need to be quiet and listen. Even before the civil rights era and the accompanying American Indian Movement, indigenous Americans have insisted that White America is not listening. Scholars since Vine Deloria Jr. have called out academics for their blindness and deafness to the insights of Indians. M. B. Lang brings an account of her determination to listen to what young Native Americans have been telling the larger culture in which they find themselves. The digital age provided a platform from which a new generation could make itself heard, and Lang has aimed to listen respectfully. Listening for Change: Letting Native American Voices Unsettle Our Avoidance reports and recommends, calling for a spiritual hearing that alone may bring change in those who need it most: the listeners.
