A century ago, the idea of indigenous people as an active force in
the contemporary world was unthinkable. It was assumed that native
societies everywhere would be swept away by the forward march of
the West and its own peculiar brand of progress and civilization.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Indigenous social
movements wield new power, and groups as diverse as Australian
Aborigines, Ecuadorian Quichuas, and New Zealand Maoris, have found
their own distinctive and assertive ways of living in the present
world. "Indigenous Experience Today" draws together essays by
prominent scholars in anthropology and other fields examining the
varied face of indigenous politics in Bolivia, Botswana, Canada,
Chile, China, Indonesia, and the United States, amongst others. The
study challenges the accepted notions of indigeneity and the often
contentious issue of indigenous rights. "Indigenous Experience
Today" demonstrates the transnational dynamics of contemporary
indigenous culture and politics around the world.
