Jan Borm together with Daniel Chartier, Martina Lourdes Rojo and Leila Devia published a collective volume with multidisciplinary comparative articles on indigeneity in the Americas focusing especially on law and cultural representations.
Indigenous identity is a defining feature of the Americas. This collective essay is the result of a unique multidisciplinary collaboration between Quebec, Argentina and France, bringing together participants from indigenous communities (Abenaki, Aymara, Atikamekw, Innu, Mapuche and Wichí) and researchers from several disciplines. It places the issue of Indigenous territoriality in the Americas at the heart of contemporary political, legal and environmental issues. This book is part of an effort to explore and compare the various conceptions of territory and human relationships with the living world as perceived by Indigenous peoples across the Northern and Southern hemispheres. At the intersection of law, literary and cultural studies, research-creation, Indigenous studies and political science, this book brings together specialists who question the foundations, effects and underlying principles of Indigenous territoriality.
With chapters by Geneviève Bélisle, Véronique Basile Hébert, Jan Borm, Leila Devia, Patrick Jacob, Federico Merino, Thierry Rodon, Ana Kancepolsky-Teichmann, Laura Perez-Gauvreau, Daniel Chartier, and Martina L. Rojo.
