Indigeneity on the Move. Группа авторов

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ explores the ways in which indigeneity becomes relevant with regard to knowledge, representation, and individually and collectively negotiated “ways of being.” With a focus on the politics of identity and belonging, it attempts to offer new frames through which one may understand the relationships of such politics with many contemporary nation-states, and seeks to provide a critical overview of current research on indigeneity. It also identifies the issues that must be addressed in future research and discussions, in order to investigate indigeneity and its role within changing political and economic environments with greater refinement. For this purpose, the contributors to this book reflect upon their research to engage critically in debates on indigeneity, and thus provide solid theoretical and empirical examinations into indigeneity in the globalized world. Much of this revolves around the observation that the recurrent indigenous activism occurring around the world could lend an honorable dignity to struggles to establish rights. This diverse collection attempts to help readers to acquire comprehensive knowledge about contemporary research that has shaped scholarship on indigeneity and indigenous mobility, and to show promising directions for future research.
