Being Maasai, Becoming Indigenous – Postcolonial Politics in a Neoliberal World de Dorothy L. Hodgson

Being Maasai, Becoming Indigenous – Postcolonial Politics in a Neoliberal World

Autor Dorothy L. Hodgson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 2011
What happens to marginalized groups from Africa when they ally with the indigenous peoples' movement? Who claims to be indigenous and why? Dorothy L. Hodgson explores how indigenous identity, both in concept and in practice, plays out in the context of economic liberalization, transnational capitalism, state restructuring, and political democratization. Hodgson brings her long experience with Maasai to her understanding of the shifting contours of their contemporary struggles for recognition, representation, rights, and resources. Being Maasai, Becoming Indigenous is a deep and sensitive reflection on the possibilities and limits of transnational advocacy and the dilemmas of political action, civil society, and change in Maasai communities.

Recenzii

“Hodgson looks at why some marginalised groups in Africa decide to identify themselves as ‘indigenous’, and what ‘indigenous identity’ means in an environment of economic liberalisation, transnational capitalism, state restructuring and political democratisation.” - Survival: Global Politics and Strategy, August 2012

"Captures with detail and fidelity the historically important story of the evolution of Tanzanian Maasai internal politics and the emergence of local heroes willing and able to exercise a new form of leadership in a context of political repression." John G. Galaty, McGill University

"For readers interested in NGO politics, sub-Saharan Africa, indigenous movement, neo-liberalism, and gender studies, among others." Christine Walley, MIT

"The most comprehensive study of local NGOs and perhaps the only genuine ethnography of African (or other) 'indigenous' rights organizations." Elliot Fratkin, Smith College

"Hodgson provides a fascinating and close-up look at the origins, motivations, and complications of the emergent NGO sector among one of Africa’s most iconic groups." International Journal of African Historical Studies
