CFP: CASCA2013 symposium
Indigenous people and international borders
This symposium focuses on the theme Indigneous people and international
borders, looking at ethnographic cases on different borders and examining
the interaction of Indigenous people with State institutions of two or more
countries and the patterns of (dis)respect of citizenship rights. Attention
will be given to the ways that Indigenous peoples have related to national
states in border situations that have emerged from colonial histories. Most
Indigenous people who live on international borders share the fact that
these were their traditional territories before the boundaries were
established between national States. The aim of this symposium is to bring
together studies of different border situations that involve Indigenous
peoples.
