American Indian Culture and Research Journal

In this article, the author places Marxist scholarship in conversation with critical Indigenous theory, outlining Marx's insights and tracing recent development within Marxist-feminist literature before critiquing this scholarship from the perspective of critical Indigenous theory. The author argues that the failure to attend to Indigenous sovereignties is a critical limitation undermining attempts to theorize multiple systems of oppression, demonstrating that critical Indigenous theory, with its more expansive understanding of relationality, not only addresses this limitation but also extends the theorization beyond the logic of capital.
