‘Metis Matriarchs: Agents of Transition’

A chapter proposal is welcomed to an edited book by Doris Jeanne MacKinnon
entitled *Metis Matriarchs: Agents of Transition*, under consideration by
Canadian Scholars/Women’s Press. The book’s 20 chapters will take a
biographical case study approach in exploring the role of Metis women as
the fur trade transitioned to a sedentary economy based on agriculture and
industrialized commerce in the late 19th and early 20th century. Issues
examined can include socio-economic status, racialization, cultural
identity and adaptation, colonialism, and sexual/gender orientation. The
intended audiences are undergraduate students in Indigenous Studies, Social
Science, and Women’s and Gender Studies in North American universities and
colleges.

Authors are welcomed from Canadian universities and colleges, and we
welcome co-authored chapters and proposals from both established and
emerging scholars, including graduate students. Length of abstract: 100-200
words.

Deadline for abstract submission:  10 January 2021

Expected length of final chapter: 6,000-7,000 words.

Proposed deadline for full chapters: April 2021.

Please submit abstract proposal to Dr. Doris Jeanne MacKinnon by e-mail at
