ANTH 7910 - Indigenous Cultural Survival:Genocide and Resistance

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

Who has the right to life Whose life matters At the intersections of modernization and militarization intrinsic to nation building in the 21st century, the cultural survival of indigenous communities is endangered, as nations perceive traditional subsistence cultures as inadequately productive and socially anachronistic. Indigenous and local struggles for cultural survival raise critical issues for the ecological sustainability of our planet. They point to languages, values, ways of being, spiritualities, imagination, and memory precious to sustaining our world. In this course, we will examine the scope of governmental control; international treaties, covenants, and processes; and the role of progress as it perpetrates the genocide, both physical and cultural, of indigenous peoples.
