Description

When the UN adopted the Declaration at the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, it brought the negative effect of globalization at the lives of Indigenous peoples to the centre of public debate. The contributors to this innovative collection extend the discussion by asking, what can Indigenous peoples’ experiences with and thoughts on globalization let us know concerning the relationship between globalization and autonomy and the meaning of the concepts themselves?

Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy brings together scholars from more than one disciplines and backgrounds who are seeking answers to this question in grounded case studies. Whether its center of attention is sea rights among Torres Strait Islanders, James Bay Cree co-governance, the transformation of East Cree spirituality, or the co-optation of linguistics by Mayan activists, each and every chapter opens a window to view how Indigenous individuals are engaging with and challenging globalization and Western views of autonomy.

Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy will play a critical in role in public debate as non-state actors take a more prominent role at the global stage. This book might be of interest not only to scholars in globalization and indigenous studies but to somebody who wants a deeper understanding of postcolonial resistance movements.
