Course Description:
With a focus on contemporary issues, this course will examine the complex legacies of colonialism, survival, and resistance in North American indigenous movements for sovereignty. We will analyze current discourses and practices of sovereignty in relation to land, citizenship, ecology, economic development, justice, and politics of gender and race. This analysis will also consider the ways in which indigenous communities in North America engage with indigenous movements globally under contemporary structures of international and transnational politics. Utilizing specific historical events, legal cases, and social movements of significance to contemporary politics of indigeneity and sovereignty, the course will critically examine how diverse forms of oppression, resistance, and transformation shape the struggles for self-governance. |
