Indigenous Diplomacies - by J Beier (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This volume explores broad conceptual questions raised by the 'discovery' of indigenous peoples as increasingly important global political actors - questions made all the more urgent by the sudden recognition that indigenous diplomacies are not at all new, but merely newly noticed.

Review Quotes

"This collection of brilliant, scholarly essays adds a necessary dimension to the study of International Relations that greatly enriches that field of study. As well, the essays move Indigenous diplomatic activities - precolonial to the present - from margin to center." - Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Professor Emeritus, California State University, and author of Indians of the Americas: Human Rights and Self Determination and Roots of Resistance: History of Land Tenure in New Mexico
