Global Indigenous Politics

Catalog description

This course explores the contemporary politics of Indigenous Peoples and settler societies. It takes a sociological, legal, political, and anthropological approach to how politics operate within and around Indigenous Peoples. By adopting a comparative and international perspective, it examines the dynamics of critical relationships within the context of national, regional, and global political orders. We look at “standard” settler states often referred to as “neo-Britains,” such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, but also Indigenous Peoples and issues from Europe, Asia, and South America.
