NAIS 20 Global Indigenous Politics
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 using a comparative and international perspective, it examines the dynamics of critical relationships in terms of national, regional, and global political order. We will 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.
