Description: Offers a reconceptualisation of indigenous people and their political involvement. It demonstrates the deep intertwining of constructions of indigenousness and identity with national, social and political histories and argues that differences and fractures within the indigenous movement -- between leaders, spokespeople and ordinary men and women -- shape the nature of indegenous politics both nationally and internationally--From publisher description.
