The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Development
Об электронной книге
Key questions:
- How do Indigenous theories of justice, sovereignty, and relations between humans and non-humans inform their understandings of development?
- How have Indigenous people used Rights of Nature, legal pluralism, and global governance systems to push for their visions?
- How do Indigenous relations with the Earth inform their struggles against natural resource extraction?
- How have native peoples negotiated the dangers and benefits of capitalism to foster their own life projects?
- How do Indigenous peoples in diaspora and in cities around the world contribute to Indigenous futures?
- How can Indigenous intellectuals, artists, and scientists control their intellectual property and knowledge systems and bring into being meaningful collective life projects?
The book is intended for Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists, communities, scholars, and students. It provides a guide to current thinking across the disciplines that converge in the study of development, including geography, anthropology, environmental studies, development studies, political science, and Indigenous studies.
