Indigenous Peoples and Globalization: Resistance and Revitalization
Hall and Fenelon give us a global perspective on Indigenous social movements through detailed case studies of important struggles across the globe. We learn about Maori of New Zealand, the Adevasi in India, the Zapatista Movement in Mexico, and the Lakota and Navajo in the United States. These and other movements are placed in a larger framework that helps us understand how native peoples have been able to persist over the centuries and resist the recent pressures of globalization. An excellent text for classes that stress human rights and indigenous perspectives. --Louise Lamphere, Professor of Anthropology, University of New Mexico, Visting Professor at University of California BerkleyThis work will be significant to the work of a wide range of scholars with interests in anthropology, human rights, ecological pasts and futures, and the legacies of violent colonialisms. --Neil Whitehead, Professor of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-MadisonThis is a book I've long been hoping for, as an introduction to Native American Studies. Combining social scientific analysis with humanistic commitment, Hall and Fenelon examine the persistence of Native peoples throughout the Americas and beyond amidst the encroachments of globalism. A superb work. --Christopher Vecsey, Director of the Native American Studies Program, Colgate University
