Описание: Featuring interviews, conversations and observations from a multi-sited ethnography of Ecuadorean musicians and their families, this book offers an innovative response to previous analyses of globalization and indigenous languages, demonstrating how transcultural practices can enhance the use and maintenance of indigenous and minority languages.
Описание: This edited volume constructs a `cosmopolitics` of climate change, consulting small-scale sustainable communities on whether the world is ending and why, and how we can take action to prevent it.
Описание: This text deals with the modern predicament of the Rabha of Kocha people - traditional shifting cultivators - their survival in the forest and their quest for identity. It describes their ways of coping with the colonial regime of scientific forestry, the depletion of the forest, and current concerns for wilderness and wildlife restoration and preservation.
Описание: Indigenous people constitute a large portion of Latin America`s population and suffer from widespread poverty. This book provides the first rigorous assessment of changes in socio-economic conditions among the region`s indigenous people, tracking progress in these indicators during the first international decade of indigenous peoples (1994-2004).
Описание: This volume addresses the contentious and topical issue of aboriginal self-government over child welfare. Using case studies from Australia and Canada, it discusses aboriginal child welfare in historical and comparative perspectives and critically examines recent legal reforms and changes in the design, management and delivery of child welfare services aimed at securing the 'decolonization' of aboriginal children and families. Within this context, the author identifies the limitations of reconciling the conflicting demands of self-determination and sovereignty and suggests that international law can provide more nuanced and culturally sensitive solutions. Referring to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it is argued that the effective decolonization of aboriginal child welfare requires a journey well beyond the single issue of child welfare to the heart of the debate over self-government, self-determination and sovereignty in both national and international law.

Описание:
Exploring indigenous life projects in encounters with extractivism, the present open access volume discusses how current turbulences actualise questions of indigeneity, difference and ontological dynamics in the Andes and Amazonia. While studies of extractivism in South America often focus on wider national and international politics, this contribution instead provides ethnographic explorations of indigenous politics, perspectives and worlds, revealing loss and suffering as well as creative strategies to mediate the extralocal. Seeking to avoid conceptual imperialism or the imposition of exogenous categories, the chapters are grounded in the respective authors’ long-standing field research. The authors examine the reactions (from resistance to accommodation), consequences (from anticipation to rubble) and materials (from fossil fuel to water) diversely related to extractivism in rural and urban settings. How can Amerindian strategies to preserve localised communities in extractivist contexts contribute to ways of thinking otherwise?

Описание: Around the world indigenous peoples remain largely alienated from how data about them, their lands, and their cultures is collected, used and applied. This book investigates this problem, demonstrating how it disenfranchises indigenous peoples from shaping policy to meet their needs.

Описание:
New information and communication technologies, such as smart phones and connected vehicles, provide ample opportunities for studying previously unavailable mobility concepts, such as Mobility as a Service (Maas), vehicle-sharing systems, and ridesharing applications.
Demand for Emerging Transportation Systems: Modeling Adoption, Satisfaction, and Mobility Patterns comprehensively examines these concepts, and the factors affecting user quality-of-service satisfaction. Demand for Emerging Transportation Systems: Modeling Adoption, Satisfaction, and Mobility Patterns provides an introduction to the latest trends in transportation, followed by a critical review of factors affecting traditional and emerging transportation system adoption rates, and user retention. This collection includes a rigorous introduction to the tools necessary for analysing these factors, as well as Big Data collection methodologies, such as smart phone and social media analysis.
The book guides researchers through the nuances of transport and mobility services adoption, closing with an outlook of, and recommendations for, future research on the topic. Demand for Emerging Transportation Systems: Modeling Adoption, Satisfaction, and Mobility Patterns' study of methods and applications appeals to practitioners, as well as graduate students.
Examines the dynamics affecting adoption rates for public transportation, vehicle-sharing, ridesharing systems and autonomous vehicles
Covers the rationale behind travelers' continuous use of mobility services and their satisfaction and development
Includes case studies, featuring mobility stats and contributions from around the world

Описание: Drawing on ethnography of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia, Mortality, Mourning and Mortuary Practices in Indigenous Australia focuses on the current ways in which indigenous people confront and manage various aspects of death. The contributors employ their contemporary and long-term anthropological fieldwork with indigenous Australians to construct rich accounts of indigenous practices and beliefs and to engage with questions relating to the frequent experience of death within the context of unprecedented change and premature mortality. The volume makes use of extensive empirical material to address questions of inequality with specific reference to mortality, thus contributing to the anthropology of indigenous Australia whilst attending to its theoretical, methodological and political concerns. As such, it will appeal not only to anthropologists but also to those interested in social inequality, the social and psychosocial consequences of death, and the conceptualization and manipulation of the relationships between the living and the dead.

Описание: This edited volume constructs a ‘cosmopolitics’ of climate change, consulting small-scale sustainable communities on whether the world is ending and why, and how we can take action to prevent it. By comparing scientific and indigenous accounts of the same phenomenon, contributors seek to broaden Western understandings of what climate change constitutes. In this context, existing cosmologies are challenged, opening spaces for hegemonic narratives to enter into conversation with the non-modern and construct ‘worlds otherwise’—situations of world change and renewal through climate change. Bold brings together perspectives from Central America, Mexico, the Amazon, and the Andes to converse with scientific narratives of climate change and create cracks that bring new worlds into being for readers.
