Indigenous healing is a paradox in the liberal settler colony, where an intervention fostering well-being might simultaneously aim to eliminate distinct Indigenous societies. This book aims to explain and complicate the prominence of "Indigenous healing" in Canadian public discourse in recent decades through theoretically-informed historical and ethnographic analysis disentangling the multiple meanings, practices, and social and political implications of healing. The book centres late twentieth-century Indigenous social histories in Treaty #3 territory and cities in northern and southern Ontario to show how practices of re-membering—mobilizing traditional ways of being and knowing towards social repair and rejuvenation of the collective—are in part enabled by tactical engagements with the settler state which fuel the emergence of an Indigenized biopolitics from below. Analysis of the possibilities, tensions, and risks inherent to Indigenous biopolitical tactics is inflected by attentiveness to the longstanding role of liberalism in settler colonial social dismemberment of Indigenous peoples. Informed by Indigenous feminist scholarship's focus on relationality, care, and the everyday, as well as the intimate workings of settler colonialism, this book is intended to contribute to ongoing critical conversations about reconciliation and resurgence politics, and problematize their presumed opposition.

Aboriginal peoples in Canada have diverse cultures but share common social and political challenges that have contributed to their experiences of health and illness. This collection addresses the origins of mental health and social problems and the emergence of culturally responsive approaches to services and health promotion. Healing Traditions is not a handbook of practice but a resource for thinking critically about current issues in the mental health of indigenous peoples. Cross-cutting themes include: the impact of colonialism, sedentarization, and forced assimilation; the importance of land for indigenous identity and an ecocentric self; and processes of healing and spirituality as sources of resilience.

This book takes a look at the problem of chronic illness and chronic pain and offers new insight into their origins, their meaning in our lives and the very real opportunity they present for our profound and far-reaching healing. Chronic conditions are by definition those which do not respond to our treatment of them. And because we cannot cure them, these intractable problems can offer an opportunity to both doctors and patients to re-examine the whole approach to sickness, pain and disease commonly taken by our society.

Prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion have often been ignored in the past, both in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Recently, however, there has been a clear shift towards public mental health, as a result of increasing scientific evidence that both these actions have a serious potential to reduce the onset of illness and subsequent burden as a result of mental illness and related social, economic and political costs. A clear distinction between prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion is critical. Selective prevention, both at societal and individual level, is an important way forward. The Oxford Textbook of Public Mental Health brings together the increasing interest in public mental health and the growing emphasis on the prevention of mental ill health and promotion of well-being into a single comprehensive textbook. Comprising international experiences of mental health promotion and mental well-being, chapters are supplemented with practical examples and illustrations to provide the most relevant information succinctly. This book will serve as an essential resource for mental and public health professionals, as well as for commissioners of services, nurses and community health visitors.

This volume brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous repatriation practitioners and researchers to provide the reader with an international overview of the removal and return of Ancestral Remains. The Ancestral Remains of Indigenous peoples are today housed in museums and other collecting institutions globally. They were taken from anywhere the deceased can be found, and their removal occurred within a context of deep power imbalance within a colonial project that had a lasting effect on Indigenous peoples worldwide. Through the efforts of First Nations campaigners, many have returned home. However, a large number are still retained. In many countries, the repatriation issue has driven a profound change in the relationship between Indigenous peoples and collecting institutions. It has enabled significant steps towards resetting this relationship from one constrained by colonisation to one that seeks a more just, dignified and truthful basis for interaction. The history of repatriation is one of Indigenous perseverance and success. The authors of this book contribute major new work and explore new facets of this global movement. They reflect on nearly 40 years of repatriation, its meaning and value, impact and effect. This book is an invaluable contribution to repatriation practice and research, providing a wealth of new knowledge to readers with interests in Indigenous histories, self-determination and the relationship between collecting institutions and Indigenous peoples.

Through an ethnographic study of a Charismatic movement in Cameroon and Paris, the book explores the dialectics between a ~Pentecostalizationa (TM) and a ~Africanizationa (TM) within contemporary African Catholicism. It appears that both processes pursue, although for different purposes, the missionary policy of dismantling local cultures.
