  Territories of Life

  Equivocations, Entanglements, and Endurances

  Mario Blaser (Editor), Sylvie Poirier (Editor), Penelope Anthias (Editor)

  “Territories of life” is the phrase used to speak about the shapes that Indigenous and more-than-human worlds or collectives adopt in the present as they endure the heavy shadow of modernization and coloniality. The ten chapters of this book are grounded in long-term ethnographic work from various countries, namely Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Colombia, Paraguay, and Taiwan.
