This volume looks at concepts and processes of social exclusion and
social inclusion. It traces a number of discourses, all of them
routed in a relational power analysis, examining them in the
context of the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030 with its
commitment to leave no one behind. The book combines analysis that
is fundamentally critical of the rhetoric of social inclusion in
academic and UN discourse with narratives of social exclusion
processes and social inclusion contestation, based on ethnographic
field research findings in La Paz, Kingston, Port-au-Prince,
Kampala, Beijing, Chongqing, Mumbai, Delhi, and villages in
Northern India. As a result, it contributes to revealing the
politics of social inclusion, offering policy proposals towards
overcoming exclusions.
This book brings together two of today's leading concerns in
development policy - the urgent need to prioritize poverty
reduction and the particular circumstances of indigenous peoples in
both developing and industrialized countries. The contributors
analyse patterns of indigenous disadvantage worldwide, the
centrality of the right to self-determination, and indigenous
people's own diverse perspectives on development. Several
fundamental and difficult questions are explored, including the
right balance to be struck between autonomy and participation, and
the tension between a new wave of assimilationism in the guise of
'pro-poor' and 'inclusionary' development policies and the fact
that such policies may in fact provide new spaces for indigenous
peoples to advance their demands. In this regard, one overall
conclusion that emerges is that both differences and commonalities
must be recognised in any realistic study of indigenous poverty.
