Red Scare, 14 - (American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present) by Joanne Barker

The Red Scare is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the intersectional scope of Indigenous social justice movements in North America, and how they are being framed as threats to neoliberal and imperialist social orders.

Joanne Barker's comprehensive analysis reveals how US and Canadian leaders are leveraging fear-driven discourses of terrorism to justify extreme responses to Indigenous activists, including militarized policing, environmental harm, and sexual violence.

This book provides a concise and thorough survey of these movements and their links to broader organizing, highlighting the common threads of history, politics, and social justice that connect them.

The Red Scare is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing Indigenous communities today, and how they are fighting back against oppression and marginalization.
