Description: This course is aimed to (1) provide an in-depth historical background on the rise of indigeneity as a political category; (2) look for intersections and points of distinction in global indigenous politics; (3) engage students with fundamental questions in indigenous politics: In what contexts is indigeneity a productive or counterproductive identity to claim in indigenous struggles for land, language, and life? Is indigeneity necessarily a progressive movement or can it also be used to oppress various “others” including other indigenous people? Students will gain skills in critical engagement with indigenous political studies in a global context, reflecting on who—NGOs, the state, scholars, international law, community members—has and does speak authoritatively and in what contexts. Cross-list: ANTH 631. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Anthropology. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ANTH 431 if student has credit for ANTH 631.
