The overarching theme is the changing understanding of indigeneity from first contact to the contemporary period in three of the world's major regions of indigenous peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although the terms \u003ci\u003eindio, indig鈩e\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eindian \u003c\/i\u003eonly exist (in Spanish, French, and English, respectively) because of European conquest and colonization, indigenous peoples have appropriated or changed this terminology in ways that reflect their shifting self-identifications and aspirations. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, this process constantly transformed the relation of Native peoples in the Americas to other peoples and the state. This volume's presentation of various factors--geographical, temporal, and cross-cultural--provide illuminating contributions to the burgeoning field of hemispheric indigenous studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHemispheric Indigeneities\u003c\/i\u003e explores indigenous agency and shows that what it means to be indigenous was and is mutable. It also demonstrates that self-identification evolves in response to the relationship between indigenous peoples and the state. The contributors analyze the conceptions of what indigeneity meant, means today, or could come to mean tomorrow. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mil駭a Santoro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496206622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496206626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019","brand":"Mil駭a Santoro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936367313151,"sku":"9781496206626","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_997b2a0a-be12-4d41-872b-c2bc6a926df0.jpg?v=1681425151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hemispheric-indigeneities-milena-santoro-9781496206626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
