What is indigeneity? How should it be articulated? How does one make it matter? 'The Politics of Indigeneity' is a bold and a challenging book. Multi layered and thought provoking it constantly forces the reader to re-engage and recalibrate, re-think and re-articulate assumptions and notions about many things including, importantly, indigeneity itself * a must read!' * This book is based on an engagement with indigenous peoples across the globe, which starts with listening to what they have to say on the subject. The authors do ask questions, occasionally challenge, but with respect and sensitivity and thus an attitude so different from underlying mainstream academic discourses in which the claim of objectivity too often is but a disguise for arrogance. * Dr Christian Erni, Social Anthropologist, International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs * This path breaking volume exploring the exciting emergence of a new "second wave" of indigeneity and activism is a must read for all those interested in contemporary indigenous politics. * Jeff Sluka, Associate Professor, Social Anthropology Programme, Massey University *
