Summary: | Part of a special issue on native women and state violence. The writer, a native Hawaiian, discusses the culture of colonization and genocide in the U.S. that has made violence the color of whiteness over darkness. She exposes the myth of American democracy, equality, and liberty and calls for separation—a return to the political status of many nations and many sovereignties. Finally, she highlights the role of women's leadership in resistance to the incorporation, disinheritance, and disappearance of native peoples and nations. |
