Sam McKegney is a settler scholar of Indigenous literatures and is Professor and Head of the Department of English at Queen's University in the territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe Peoples. He has published two books— Masculindians: Conversations about Indigenous Manhood and Magic Weapons: Aboriginal Writers Remaking Community after Residential School —and articles on such topics as masculinity, environmental kinship, prison writing, and mythologies of hockey.
"I came away from the manuscript convinced of the need for this
work, as I find it exemplary of the kind of careful, ethically
attentive, and deeply generous scholarship we need more of." Daniel
Heath Justice , author of Why Indigenous Literatures Matter
"There has been much debate in scholarly and community settings in
recent years as to whether the examination of Indigenous
masculinities might be one that celebrates rather than
pathologizes. McKegney does not shy away from these debates and the
players involved, and in so doing, takes risks in the service of
holding place for decolonial men and masculinities. Beautifully
written, his book is courageous, critical and unique in terms of
advancing discussions about critical Indigenous masculinities in
the academy and community alike." Kim Anderson , co-editor of
Indigenous Men and Masculinities and Keetsahnak: Our Missing and
Murdered Indigenous Sisters
