Theorizing Relations in Indigenous South America
Book •
Theorizing Relations in Indigenous South America brings together essays that rethink anthropological theory through relational perspectives grounded in Indigenous socialities.
The volume engages with kinship, personhood, land, and political transformation to show how relations shape Indigenous worlds and responses to colonial modernity.
Contributors draw on ethnographic cases across South America to challenge Western ontologies and propose more situated theoretical tools.
The book highlights how Indigenous demands and practices reconfigure state-society relations and offer alternative imaginaries of coexistence.
It serves as a resource for scholars interested in Indigenous studies, political anthropology, and decolonial theory.
