Indigenous Celebrity - A Critical Examination of Popular Forms of Recognition Get ready to challenge your assumptions about celebrity culture and its impact on Indigenous people.

This groundbreaking collection of essays reorients conversations around Indigenous celebrity, examining the complex terrain of social relations informed by colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia/transphobia, and classism.

From exploring the historical and contemporary contexts of Indigenous celebrity to examining the ways that Indigenous people navigate external assumptions and expectations, this collection provides a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play.
