Reviews

This is a great resource for courses in anthropology, worldviews, history, and/or indigenous cultures.The breadth of the material is impressive because it includes indigenous groups from around the world and also because of the scope of each chapter.
 Toni Copeland, The University of Alabama

Description

Across modern nation-states, Indigenous Peoples continue to resist dispossession and sustain their cultures in the face of historical and contemporary pressures. Through sixteen in-depth case studies spanning six continents, this volume examines shared patterns of colonisation, genocide, land loss and forced assimilation. Bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, it foregrounds Indigenous agency and resilience through strategies including legal action, language revitalisation, political activism and international advocacy. The Contributors address contemporary challenges such as climate change, resource extraction and economic marginalisation, alongside ongoing struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. Together, the case studies offer a comparative perspective on Indigenous cultural survival across diverse global contexts.

Sharlotte Neely is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Northern Kentucky University. She is the author of Snowbird Cherokees: People of Persistence (University of Georgia Press, 2021), which inspired an award-winning film. Tribal Council of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians unanimously awarded her Honorary Cherokee status. Her scholarship emphasises Indigenous resilience through tradition and adaptation.

Douglas W. Hume is Director of Assessment, Accreditation, Curriculum and General Education, Professor of Anthropology, and Director of the Centre for Applied Anthropology at Northern Kentucky University. He also led an ethnographic field school in Belize for over a decade.
