Despite this basic fact, the vast majority of studies on Indigenous peoples concentrate solely on rural Indigenous populations. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aiming to highlight these often-overlooked communities, this is the first book to look at urban Indigenous peoples globally and present the urban Indigenous experience—not as the exception but as the norm. The contributing essays draw on a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, architecture, land economy, and area studies, and are written by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars. The analysis looks at Indigenous people across the world and draws on examples not usually considered within the study of indigeneity, such as Fiji, Japan, and Russia. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Indigeneity is often seen as being “authentic” when it is practiced in remote rural areas, but these essays show that a vigorous, vibrant, and meaningful indigeneity can be created in urban spaces too. The book challenges many of the imaginaries and tropes of what constitutes “the Indigenous” and offers perspectives and tools to understand a contemporary Indigenous urban reality. As such, it is a must-read for anyone interested in the real lives of Indigenous people today. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aiko Ikemura Amaral \u003cbr\u003e Chris Andersen \u003cbr\u003e Giuliana Borea \u003cbr\u003e Dana Brablec \u003cbr\u003e Andrew Canessa \u003cbr\u003e Sandra del Valle Casals \u003cbr\u003e Stanislav Saas Ksenofontov \u003cbr\u003e Daniela Peluso \u003cbr\u003e Andrey Petrov \u003cbr\u003e Marya Rozanova-Smith \u003cbr\u003e Kate Stevens \u003cbr\u003e Kanako Uzawa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57699931259254,"sku":"9780816556632","price":27.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41011808_fffc6661-756e-4095-88fe-10266b3d5c1c.jpg?v=1776995445","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780816556632-urban-indigeneities","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
