Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy - Insights for a Global Age (Paperback)

When the UN adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples in 2007, it brought the negative effect of globalization on 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 tell us about the relationship between
globalization and autonomy and the meaning of the concepts
themselves?"

"Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy" brings together scholars
from multiple disciplines and backgrounds who seek answers to this
question in grounded case studies. Whether the focus is on 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 chapter opens a window to view how
indigenous people are engaging with and challenging globalization and
Western views of autonomy.

Taken together, these insightful studies reveal that concepts such
as globalization and autonomy neither encapsulate nor explain
Indigenous peoples' experiences. This book will play a critical
in role in public debate as non-state actors take a more prominent role
on the global stage.
