Transcontinental Dialogues brings together Indigenous and
non-Indigenous anthropologists from Mexico, Canada, and Australia
who work at the intersections of Indigenous rights, advocacy, and
action research. These engaged anthropologists explore how
obligations manifest in differently situated alliances, how they
respond to such obligations, and the consequences for
anthropological practice and action. This volume presents a set of
pieces that do not take the usual political or geographic paradigms
as their starting point; instead, the particular dialogues from the
margins presented in this book arise from a rejection of the
geographic hierarchization of knowledge in which the Global South
continues to be the space for fieldwork while the Global North is
the place for its systematization and theorization. Instead,
contributors in Transcontinental Dialogues delve into the
interactions between anthropologists and the people they work with
in Canada, Australia, and Mexico. This framework allows the
contributors to explore the often unintended but sometimes
devastating impacts of government policies (such as land rights
legislation or justice initiatives for women) on Indigenous
people's lives. Each chapter's author reflects critically on their
own work as activist--scholars. They offer examples of the efforts
and challenges that anthropologists-Indigenous and
non-Indigenous-confront when producing -knowledge in alliances with
Indigenous peoples. Mi'kmaq land rights, pan-Maya social movements,
and Aboriginal title claims in rural and urban areas are just some
of the cases that provide useful ground for reflection on and
critique of challenges and opportunities for scholars,
policy-makers, activists, allies, and community members. This
volume is timely and innovative for using the disparate
anthropological traditions of three regions to explore how the
interactions between anthropologists and Indigenous peoples in
supporting Indigenous activism have the potential to transform the
production of knowledge within the historical colonial traditions
of anthropology.
