It is the first full-length work of scholarship to develop a tribally specific Indigenous queer/two-spirit critique, providing a Cherokee 2GLBTQ lens from which to interpret the past, understand our present, and imagine decolonial futures"--Provided by publisher.… (more)

This was really incredible--it was so accessible while also being theoretically rich, and Driskill manages to be both tribally specific with hir framework and also provide opportunities for other Two-Spirit people in other nations to find ways to use hir framework for themselves. It also clearly does incredible work in pushing forward Two-Spirit critique, and situating that as a huge addition to queer studies and queer of color critique, which so infrequently address settler colonialism.

The second chapter will almost definitely be on a syllabus of mine in the future, and is just incredible historical work interwoven with Driskill's personal narrative. S/he manages to do so much here, in such a relatively small and accessible space. ( )
