Gigoux Carlos - Indigenous Peoples And Colonialism Global Perspectives - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Indigenous peoples have gained increasing international visibility in their fight against longstanding colonial occupation by nation - states. Although living in different locations around the world and practising highly varied ways of life indigenous peoples nonetheless are affected by similar patterns of colonial dispossession and violence. In defending their collective rights to self - determination culture lands and resources their resistance and creativity offer a pause for critical reflection on the importance of maintaining indigenous distinctiveness against the homogenizing forces of states and corporations. This timely book highlights significant colonial patterns of domination and their effects as well as responses and resistance to colonialism. It brings indigenous peoples issues and voices to the forefront of sociological discussions of modernity. In particular the book examines issues of identity dispossession environment rights and revitalization in relation to historical and ongoing colonialism showing that the experiences of indigenous peoples in wealthy and poor countries are often parallel and related. With a strong comparative scope and interdisciplinary perspective the book is an essential introductory reading for students interested in race and ethnicity human rights development and indigenous peoples issues in an interconnected world.
