Indigenous peoples have gained increasing international visibility in their fight against longstanding colonial occupation and domination by nation states. Although living in different locations around the world and practising highly varied ways of life, indigenous peoples nonetheless are affected by similar patterns of dispossession and violence. In defending their collective rights to self-determination, culture, lands and resources, their creativity and resilience offer a pause for critical reflection on the importance of maintaining indigenous distinctiveness against the homogenising forces of states and corporations. This timely book highlights significant colonial patterns of domination and their effects, as well as responses and resistance to colonialism, by bringing indigenous peoples issues and voices to the forefront of sociological discussions of modernity.
