ANTH 313 - Indigenous Peoples,Ethnic Groups,and States

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

The conditions and fates of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities today are intimately linked to the evolution of modern nation-states and the global political economy. Over the past 500 years, small, relatively autonomous indigenous and ethnic groups have increasingly been brought under state control through processes of conquests, genocide, colonialism, development, and globalization. These forces have produced profound changes and profound stresses, resulting, at worst, in the elimination of entire societies, but more commonly in complex interactions that vary from dependency and assimilation to resistance and cultural revitalization. The course uses detailed case studies from around the world to illustrate key themes and cross-cultural patterns in the construction and destruction of indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in state systems. 1.00 units, Lecture
