Daniel Heath Justice and Jean M. O'Brien's book Allotment Stories: Indigenous Land Relations Under Settler Siege (U Minnesota Press, 2021) collects more than two dozen
chronicles of white imperialism and Indigenous resistance. Ranging from the
historical to the contemporary and grappling with Indigenous land struggles
around the globe, these narratives showcase both scholarly and creative forms
of expression, constructing a multifaceted book of diverse perspectives that
will inform readers while provoking them toward further research into
Indigenous resilience.
