ENGAGE is an anthology built around roundtable discussions and individual reflections of organizers and educators. Its contributors analyze, critique, and debate through progressive or radical pedagogies shaped by Black and Indigenous communities seeking human rights, or revolution. The content for the edited volume which offers digital interviews on its website focuses on Black and Indigenous activists and educators from the 1960s to present day. The topics range from spirituality through environmentalism, security, freedom, autonomy, anti-Blackness and family and child protections and freedoms. Conducted through 2022 – 2023, supported by the Williams College Just Futures grant, via the Mellon Foundation, with student and alumni and activist input, we designed an (anti)academic text to explore our common and divergent templates that stabilize the relational and political desires of Indigenous, African, Afro Indigenous to overcome historical genocide and displacement and disposability to the larger culture and nation. With varied politics, contributors entwine or distance from other communities as discussions of capture and subjugation as well as resistance and education for the return of kin, land and the rendering of compensation to communities which have faced genocidal violence as well as building education beyond the theft, appropriation and expropriation of land, language, culture, labor and bodily integrity.
