Abstract

This volume contextualises the significant social change in Indigenous life circumstances and resurgence that came out of social movements in cities. It is about Indigenous resurgence and community development by First Nations people for First Nations people in cities. Seventy-five years ago, First Nations peoples began a significant post-war period of relocation to cities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. First Nations peoples engaged in projects of resurgence and community development in the cities of the four settler states. First Nations peoples, who were motivated by aspirations for autonomy and empowerment, went on to create the foundations of Indigenous social infrastructure. This book explains the ways First Nations people in cities created and took control of their own futures.

Abstract

Global identity politics rest heavily on notions of ethnicity and authenticity, especially in contexts where indigenous identity becomes a basis for claims of social and economic justice. In contemporary Latin America there is a resurgence of indigenous claims for cultural and political autonomy and for the benefits of economic development. Yet these identities have often been taken for granted. In this historical ethnography, Baron Pineda traces the history of the port town of Bilwi, now known officially as Puerto Cabezas, on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua to explore the development, transformation, and function of racial categories in this region. From the English colonial period, through the Sandinista conflict of the 1980's, to the aftermath of the Contra War, Pineda shows how powerful outsiders, as well as Nicaraguans, have made efforts to influence notions about African and Black identity among the Miskito Indians, Afro-Nicaraguan Creoles, and Mestizos in the region. In the process, he provides insight into the causes and meaning of social movements and political turmoil. Shipwrecked Identities also includes important critical analysis of the role of anthropologists and other North American scholars in the Contra-Sandinista conflict, as well as the ways these scholars have defined ethnic identities in Latin America. As the indigenous people of the Mosquito Coast continue to negotiate the effects of a long history of contested ethnic and racial identity, this book takes an important step in questioning the origins, legitimacy, and consequences of such claims.

Abstract

La igualdad consagrada en las constituciones políticas que han regido en México, desde la española de 1812 hasta la mexicana de 1917, idealizó e impuso un estilo de vida sobre realidades sociales que nuestra historiografía suele ignorar. Los barrios indígenas de la ciudad de México y sus pueblos aledaños sufrieron el embate de esas exigencias, pero de ese hecho y de la resistencia que ofrecieron poco o nada se dice públicamente. De ello se ocupa el presente estudio al recorrer la vida de comunidades -algunas desaparecidas ya, otras al límite de su existencia- que guardan memoria de una historia propia. La historia de la ciudad de México no puede limitarse al registro de la expansión de la mancha urbana. Tal es lo que este libro -elaborado sobre testimonios de primera mano- nos recuerda al hablar de los barrios y pueblos de indígenas que formaron las parcialidades de San Juan Tenochtitlan y Santiago Tlatelolco.
