This book challenges the common perception that global politics is
making progress on indigenous issues and argues that the current
global care for indigeneity is, in effect, violent in nature.
Examining the inclusion of indigenous peoples in the United Nations
Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Arctic Council, the
authors demonstrate how seemingly benevolent practices of
international political and legal recognition are tantamount to
colonialism, the historical wrong they purport to redress. By
unveiling the ways in which contemporary neoliberal politics
commissions a certain type of indigenous subject―one distinguished
by resilience in particular―the book offers a pioneering account of
how international politics has tightened its grip on indigeneity.
