How Indigeneity Shapes the State

by Andrew CanessaManuela Lavinas Picq

This book takes the provocative view that Indigenous people have been fundamental to how contemporary state sovereignty was imagined, theorized, and practiced. By tracing indigeneity from European philosophers conceptualizing sovereignty during the Enlightenment to Indigenous President Evo Morales in Bolivia, this volume offers new analytical tools to explore indigeneity in contemporary world politics.
