Being Indigenous: Perspectives on Activism, Culture, Language, and Identity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781041025337)

The second edition of Being Indigenous presents perspectives from 24 Indigenous scholars who share their knowledge on the interconnected fabric of activism, culture, language, and identity that defines Indigenous existence in the twenty-first century.

The book explores personal narratives, cultural traditions, and resistance strategies of Indigenous peoples from 11 countries. This expanded edition features significant updates including a new introduction, restructured organization prioritizing traditional cultural knowledge, and five entirely new chapters on power dynamics, pedagogical approaches, climate change impacts on Indigenous foodways, gender perspectives, and collaborative research methodologies in the Amazon.

Being Indigenous is essential reading for students and researchers in Indigenous studies, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and cultural studies seeking authentic perspectives on sovereignty, identity, and cultural resilience from those who have lived these experiences.
