Indigeneity, Culture and the UN Sustainable Development Goals


Free Download Dominic O’Sullivan, "Indigeneity, Culture and the UN Sustainable Development Goals "
English | ISBN: 981990580X | 2023 | 291 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This is the first scholarly book to examine the UN Sustainable Development Goals from an indigenous perspective and, specifically, with reference to the right to self-determination. It refers to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and domestic instruments such as New Zealand’s Tiriti o Waitangi to suggest how the goals could be revised to support self-determination as a more far-reaching and ambitious project than the goals imagine in their current form. The book primarily draws its material from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand to support analysing the goals’ policy relevance to wealthy states and the political claims that indigenous peoples make in established liberal democracies.

Tourism, Indigeneity, and the Importance of Place Fighting for Heritage at Australia’s Last Frontier


Free Download Carsten Wergin, "Tourism, Indigeneity, and the Importance of Place: Fighting for Heritage at Australia’s Last Frontier "
English | ISBN: 1793648255 | 2023 | 266 pages | EPUB | 17 MB
The book presents a long-term ethnographic study of arguably the largest environmental protest action in Australian history: The Walmadany / James Price Point conflict. Carsten Wergin offers a detailed account of how local community members, Indigenous custodians, heritage preservationists, environmentalists, and tourists collaboratively joined forces to successfully oppose the construction of a $45 billion (AUD) liquefied natural gas facility on sacred Indigenous land. Tourism, Indigeneity and the Importance of Place is a close reading of Aboriginal ‘country’ and its living heritage. It follows the Lurujarri Heritage Trail, an Indigenous Tourism experience that would have been destroyed by the LNG project, to offer a timely discussion of the sociocultural and political relevance of heritage and tourism for ecological preservation and the wider decolonial project in Australia and beyond.

Haunting Biology Science and Indigeneity in Australia


Free Download Emma Kowal, "Haunting Biology: Science and Indigeneity in Australia "
English | ISBN: 1478025379 | 2023 | 264 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In Haunting Biology Emma Kowal recounts the troubled history of Western biological studies of Indigenous Australians and asks how we now might see contemporary genomics, especially that conducted by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scientists. Kowal illustrates how the material persistence of samples over decades and centuries folds together the fates of different scientific methodologies. Blood, bones, hair, comparative anatomy, human biology, physiology, and anthropological genetics all haunt each other across time and space, together with the many racial theories they produced and sustained. The stories Kowal tells feature a variety of ghostly presences: a dead anatomist, a fetishized piece of hair hidden away in a war trunk, and an elusive white Indigenous person. By linking this history to contemporary genomics and twenty-first-century Indigeneity, Kowal outlines the fraught complexities, perils, and potentials of studying Indigenous biological difference in the twenty-first century.

English | ISBN: 1032523549 | 2023 | 288 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Whatever be the definition of ‘indigenous’ vis-a-vis ‘indigeneity’, and however concensual it might be, both these terms have been inferred, applied and questioned in multifarious ways. The concept indigeneity in Asia has transformed considerably, over a period of time. With the rise in the indigeneity movement and large-scale migration, citizenship within national borders is challenged, and the borders in question are also contested.
