Author Description

"Indigenous Cultures in an Interconnected World is a comprehensive, thought-provoking discussion of the challenges that globalisation presents for Indigenous peoples. It outlines successful strategies that have been used by Indigenous peoples to promote their identities and cultural values. It looks at their role as equal and active participants and, indeed, as innovators and leaders in an interconnected world.". "The chapters in this book present a global perspective on Indigenous issues. They feature a cross-disciplinary integration that takes a holistic approach - in line with that of Indigenous peoples - and include vignettes of Indigenous cultural practices."--BOOK JACKET.
