Summary:

"This book, the second of two volumes, presents a global perspective, with case studies from each continent, on the political economy of indigenous populations. It examines the marginalization of indigenous populations and the structural inequalities they face. These challenges are contextualized within broader globalization trends, including the commodification of indigenous knowledge. The need for cultural preservation amid technological change is highlighted, alongside the need to support environmental justice and indigenous movements. The economic dominance of Western countries and displacement of indigenous communities is challenged through the inclusion of policy recommendations to protect indigenous peoples. This book sets out a path of justice and equity for indigenous communities that overcomes the historical injustices and structural inequalities that they have faced. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the political economy and the protection of indigenous peoples." -- Provided by publisher.
