Defiant Resistance
Shattering the silence on violence against Indigenous women
Defiant Resistance is a powerful testament to Indigenous women's and families' unwavering refusal to be silenced. Through personal narratives, they shatter the silence surrounding their experiences of violence, centring their agency, restoring their power and defining their own pathways toward self-determination and a life beyond violence.
A tribute to the strength and agency of Indigenous women and families impacted by violence, Defiant Resistance is an act of Indigenous self-determination.
Through sharing women's stories in their own words, Marlene Longbottom enables them to take back their narrative and reclaim power. The title itself embodies a vital truth: the unwavering refusal by Indigenous women and their families to be silenced or ignored any longer.
With deeply personal narratives from Indigenous women who have faced violence, and Indigenous families who have endured profound loss, this book shatters the silence around their stories. Marlene Longbottom amplifies these voices, demanding systemic change that is long overdue and highlighting community-led pathways toward a life beyond violence.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.

At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
