Globalization and Indigenous Politics
Themes
Explores the intersections of globalization and indigenous politics and introduces students to critical considerations of globalization from the perspective of indigenous peoples. Investigates the dominant economic paradigm as the historical outcome of colonization and examines political alternatives and challenges that various indigenous struggles embody and embrace. Issues explored in the course include impacts of globalization on indigenous peoples, international indigenous organizing, democratization and political participation, human rights, contested sovereignties and indigenous social movements. Examines indigenous communities as heterogeneous locations where not only impacts of globalization but forms of engagement and resistance take various forms.
