Beyond Reconciliation: Calling for Land-Based Analyses in the Sociology of Sport
This article examines the possibilities engendered by land-based analyses within the sociology of sport. We examine how “Canada’s” Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action on sport reproduce a logic of social inclusion, one which assimilates Indigenous athletes and Peoples into settler models of sport. To consider epistemological tools for unsettling settler sport systems, we turn to critical Indigenous scholarship on land-based anal…
Sport for Indigenous resurgence: Toward a critical settler-colonial reflection
This article examines the field of sport for development (SFD) while considering Indigenous resurgence amidst Canada's neoliberal settler-colonial landscape. While sharing challenges encountered within their practice, program staff from the Promoting Life-skills in Aboriginal Youth program revealed high levels of constructive self-criticism and reflexivity. There are three emergent themes, the adoption of which appeared essential for transforming…
Sport-for-development and the failure of aboriginal subjecthood: Re-imagining lacrosse as resurgence in indigenous communities
In November 1989, the United Nations initiated a fundamental shift in international support for the rights of children by introducing the Convention on the Rights of the Child. As part of that Convention, the UN helped solidify the rights of children to engage in rest, leisure, play, and recreational activities introduced in article 31 of the resolution. As a result, the institutionalization of sport as a catalyst for social change – known as spo…

Tourism in poor regions and social inclusion: The porters of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
In this paper, tourism's role as an agent of social exclusion/inclusion is examined in the context of the integration of Peruvian Southern Andean communities into the global tourism industry as porters on the Inca Trail. This is an arduous four-day hike leading to the archaeological complex of Machu Picchu. After years of mistreatment following the development of the Trail in the 1980s, these highly marginalised peasants living in high mountain v…
The Inca Heritage Revival: Indigenismo in Cuzco, 1905–1945
The Inca Heritage Revival: Indigenismo in Cuzco, 1905–1945
The Inca heritage is intermingled in a long trajectory of histories, creations and revivals that have constantly contributed to the renewal of its imagery. This paper analyses an important Inca revival movement that has been crucial in the making and remaking of Southern Andean identities: Indigenismo Cusqueño (1905–1945). This Cuzco version of Indigenismo was a regionalist urban middle class movement that emerged at the turn of the 20th century.…
Bodies, spirits, and Incas: Performing Machu Picchu
No longer is Machu Picchu the best-kept secret place of the Incas, as it was during the European conquest of the sixteenth century. Since its ‘discovery’ by Hiram Bingham in 1911, the so-called ‘lost city of the Incas’, located in Cuzco province in the Southern Peruvian Andes, has become a World Heritage Site and a major tourist destination that keeps stirring the imagination of the world (see Arellano 1997). As a result of growing foreign intere…
