International Studies 280 - Indigenous Peoples' Movements in Global Context

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

During the last three decades a global indigenous rights movement has arisen within the United Nations and others international bodies, challenging and reformulating international law and cultural understandings of human rights. The course examines the tensions between indigenous rights and national sovereignty and how global processes have shaped efforts to institutionalize indigenous rights, among other issues. Students in the course will develop a case study of an indigenous peoples movement of their choosing and situate it in the context of competing theoretical perspectives on globalization and global processes. Next offered in 2009-2010. (4 credits)
