Campfire sessions are springing up at conferences and educational institutes as an alternative to PowerPoint presentation workshops.

The Politics of Indigeneity
Review of The politics of indigeneity: Dialogues and reflections on indigenous activism. S. Venkateswar and E. Hughes, Eds. Zed Books, London, 2012, 2nd ed., ISBN 978 1 8481 3950 3, 256 pp. Just as the concept of indigeneity as debated through a range of voices as chronicled by this book evokes a political response; as reviewers, we had a similar response to the concept of writing this review. The volume is made up of a series of dialogues and re…
