Routledge - Indigenous Peoples and Globalization Book

Explore the complex relationship between native communities and global forces in Indigenous Peoples and Globalization: Resistance and Revitalization. Published by Routledge, this text examines how the challenges faced by indigenous populations intensify as the world becomes more interconnected. Through various global case studies, authors Hall and Fenelon explain that indigenous movements are best understood by connecting local processes to broader historical and global trends. The book highlights that these communities have a long history of resisting and adapting to state encounters over many millennia. Unlike other forms of antiglobalization activism, indigenous peoples focus on a specific goal: seeking autonomy. This work details their struggle to maintain the right to determine their own processes of change and adaptation, particularly regarding their original lands and communities. This is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences.
