At the intersection of indigenous studies, science studies, and
legal studies lies a tense web of political issues of vital concern
for the survival of indigenous nations. Numerous historians of
science have documented the vital role of late-eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century science as a part of statecraft, a means of
extending empire. This book follows imperialism into the present,
demonstrating how pursuit of knowledge of the natural world
impacts, and is impacted by, indigenous peoples rather than
nation-states. In extractive biocolonialism, the valued genetic
resources, and associated agricultural and medicinal knowledge, of
indigenous peoples are sought, legally converted into private
intellectual property, transformed into commodities, and then
placed for sale in genetic marketplaces. Science, Colonialism, and
Indigenous Peoples critically examines these developments,
demonstrating how contemporary relations between indigenous and
Western knowledge systems continue to be shaped by the dynamics of
power, the politics of property, and the apologetics of law.
