This book presents the complex intersections of race, gender, and colonialism and their profound impact on the incarceration of First Nations women in Australia. By extending Kimberlé Crenshaw's intersectional framework, it addresses the unique and often overlooked experiences of this population.

The book explores the intricate relationships between interpersonal, structural, and colonial violence, demonstrating how these forms of violence not only emerge from but also perpetuate existing power structures. By adapting Crenshaw's lens to the specific context of First Nations women, it highlights the intersecting disadvantages of race, gender, and colonialism, offering a fresh and nuanced perspective on the issue of over-incarceration. Central to this analysis is the role of race. Using Critical Race Theory, the book underscores how racial dynamics are integral to understanding the over-incarceration of First Nations people. It also employs Feminist Legal Theory to scrutinize gender as a distinct point of disadvantage for First Nations women, distinguishing their experiences from those of First Nations men and the broader population.
