dc.description.notesExamines the direct and indirect forces of colonisation which have influenced the cycles of violence in indigenous communities and outlines three major historical events in the United States which illustrate how Navajo women have been specifically marginalised. Outlines both the arguments put forward in favour of Navaho ‘Peacemaking’, an informal process, in responding to domestic violence and feminist critiques of restorative justice models such as this. Argues that the aim of family violence intervention should be the liberation of the victim through changes to the material and social conditions that foster battering and that feminist anti-domestic violence work will fail women of colour and poor women unless the intersectionality of gender, racism, poverty and conquest are recognised. Describes an empirical study of the current practice of Peacemaking for battered women in the Navajo Nation and explores the possibilities of Peacemaking through a review of the critiques of this process. Argues that Peacemaking may provide benefits for some women, benefits which are not available through ‘formal’ criminal justice approaches. Concludes with a suggestion for an ‘ideal adjudication process’ with domestic violence.en
