Exploring indigenous life projects in encounters with extractivism,
the present open access volume discusses how current turbulences
actualise questions of indigeneity, difference and ontological
dynamics in the Andes and Amazonia. While studies of extractivism
in South America often focus on wider national and international
politics, this contribution instead provides ethnographic
explorations of indigenous politics, perspectives and worlds,
revealing loss and suffering as well as creative strategies to
mediate the extralocal. Seeking to avoid conceptual imperialism or
the imposition of exogenous categories, the chapters are grounded
in the respective authors' long-standing field research. The
authors examine the reactions (from resistance to accommodation),
consequences (from anticipation to rubble) and materials (from
fossil fuel to water) diversely related to extractivism in rural
and urban settings. How can Amerindian strategies to preserve
localised communities in extractivist contexts contribute to ways
of thinking otherwise?
