尽管美国土著妇女一直遭受不成比例的亲密伴侣暴力，但在现有的研究中，对这一问题的关注严重不足。本文旨在了解东南部部落成员生活中的历史压迫，并强调历史压迫如何可能导致暴力侵害土著妇女的可能性增加，从而解决缺乏对暴力行为的结构性原因的实证研究。对从更广泛的批判性人种志中提取的人种志数据进行批判性分析，并采访了49名亲身或专业经历过暴力的土著妇女和专业人员，揭示了五个主要主题：压迫的经历，历史和当代损失，文化破坏，压迫的表现形式，以及非人化的信仰和价值观。结果表明，各种形式的历史压迫创造了一个环境中，IPV往往是永久化的高利率。
Although indigenous women in the United States consistently experience disproportionately high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), attention to this problem is glaringly underrepresented in the existing research. This article addresses the lack of empirical research on structural causes of violence by aiming to understand historical oppression in the lives of southeastern tribal members and highlighting how historical oppression may give rise to the increased likelihood of violence against indigenous women. Critical analysis of ethnographic data drawn from a broader critical ethnography and interviews with 49 indigenous women and professionals who had firsthand experiences with violence, either personally or professionally, uncovers five main themes: experiences of oppression, historical and contemporary losses, cultural disruption, manifestations of oppression, and dehumanizing beliefs and values. Results indicate that various forms of historical oppression created a context in which IPV tends to be perpetuated at high rates.
