Kidnapped Water and Living Otherwise in a World of Drought, Fires, and Floods
This essay considers how the production of water as a resource that can be extracted and commodified is situated at the core of colonial capitalist economies. Water has become a volatile means to secure economic growth under conditions of accelerated aridification and scarcity. The focus of the analysis is the struggle of the United Front of Nahua Communities in Puebla, Mexico against the water bottling company Danone Bonafont. Like other Indigen…
Indigenous women refusing the violence of resource extraction in Oaxaca
This article examines the connections among the expansion of natural resource extraction, gender violence, and Indigenous refusal. It demonstrates how free market mining is operationalized through everyday violent practices that are perpetrated on human and nonhuman bodies. It moves from the global to the body to the community of bodies and the bodies of non-human entities to show the ways in which mining activities and violence are refused in Oa…
Communality as everyday Indigenous sovereignty in Oaxaca, Mexico
This chapter explores how communality is mobilised to resist state sovereignty and land dispossession in Oaxaca, Mexico, and how Indigenous women’s struggles for bodily sovereignty intersect with the defence of territory. In a context of sustained colonial violence, understanding everyday communal practices as an action-oriented way of life that sustains Indigenous communities requires looking beyond Western understanding of sovereignty to centre…
Possessing Land, Wind and Water in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca
This article examines the connection between Indigenous women's bodies, their relationship to land and resistance to resource extraction in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico. First, I explore the processes and practices through which natural resource extraction is expanded into the Global South to demonstrate that Indigenous lands are produced as wastelands that only acquire value through settler states' imposition of land uses and ownership. Se…
The Neoliberal State, Recognition and Indigenous Rights
The impact of neoliberal governance on indigenous peoples in liberal settler states may be both enabling and constraining. This book is distinctive in drawing comparisons between three such states-Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In a series of empirically grounded, interpretive micro-studies, it draws out a shared policy coherence, but also exposes idiosyncrasies in the
From new paternalism to new imaginings of possibilities in Australia, Canada and Aotearoa/New Zealand
The impact of neoliberal governance on indigenous peoples in liberal settler states may be both enabling and constraining. This book is distinctive in drawing comparisons between three such states?Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In a series of empirically grounded, interpretive micro-studies, it draws out a shared policy coherence, but also exposes idiosyncrasies in the operational dynamics of neoliberal governance both within each state and b…
Indigenous Movements
This entry discusses the concept of indigenous movements and distinguishes it from other types of social movements. It illustrates how contemporary indigenous movements' claims are the continuation of historical resistance struggles that address new contexts to pursue centuries‐old concerns. This entry also shows how indigenous women have contributed to the configuration of contemporary indigenous movements.
North American first peoples
This article explores the nature of Aboriginal demands for a citizenship regime grounded in a substantive recognition of cultural difference and inherent rights in Mexico and Canada. It provides an overview of the different evolution of Aboriginal citizenship in each country but focuses on two recent development projects, the Puebla Panama Plan in Mexico and the Mackenzie Valley pipeline in Canada. These cases demonstrate the ways in which neo‐li…
