Indigenous cosmopolitans

More about the book

"Timely and original, this volume looks at indigenous peoples from the perspective of cosmopolitan theory and at cosmopolitanism from the perspective of the indigenous world. In doing so, it not only sheds new light on both, but also has something important to say about the complexities of identification in this shrinking, overheated world. Analysing ethnoqraphy from around the world, the authors demonstrate the universality of the local-indigeneity-and the particularity of the universal--cosmopolitanism. Anthropology doesn't get much better than this." --Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Professor of Anthropology, University of Oslo; Author of Globalisation --Book Jacket.
