Decolonizing Colonial Violence: The Subversive Practices of Aboriginal Film and Video
Canadian Woman Studies, 2006, v. 25, no. 1-2, pp. 83-87
Hladki analyzes film and video production of Aboriginal women in Canada, particularly the video works of Alanis Obomsawin, Shelley Niro, and Dana Claxton. She claims that these authors belong to the forefront of Indigenous struggle, considering that their works succeed in "decolonization of both normative media practices and the violences of imperialism and capitalism".
