Recenzje

"Editors Breidlid and Krøvel (both, Oslo Metropolitan Univ.) bring together diverse authors from within and outside academia in this collection. Taking the UN Sustainable Development Goals as its entry point, the book argues that, for the goals to be successful, Western ideas of sustainability and development need to be expanded to more fully include insights and perspectives from indigenous peoples and knowledge systems. Drawing on studies and experiences of indigenous people and sustainability from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Latin America, the individual chapters offer examples of collaborative research with indigenous knowledge holders, indigenous resistance to forces of ongoing colonization and displacement, and indigenous approaches to governance and ecological systems. As the editors convey, Western scholars are the book's principal intended audience, with the hope that it can encourage more authentic engagement with indigenous peoples and knowledges. With this framing, this volume will be of most interest to those focusing on indigenous knowledge, decolonization, political ecology, and development studies." --J. L. Rhoades, Antioch University New England
