Description
Returns: Becoming Indigenous in the Twenty-First Century by James Clifford In this thought-provoking collection of essays, James Clifford explores the concept of homecoming and its significance for indigenous communities. Engaging with their histories of survival and transformation, Clifford challenges fundamental questions about our place in a globalizing world. The traditional narrative of modernization and progress has often been at odds with the persistence of native societies. However, many aboriginal groups continue to thrive, complicating familiar narratives. In these essays, Clifford examines strategies for moving forward, such as returning to ancestral land, performing heritage, and maintaining diasporic ties. He reveals how indigenous people are forging original pathways in a complex modernity. This volume is the third in a series that explores intercultural representations, travels, and returns. It continues Clifford's signature exploration of late-twentieth-century cultural dynamics, shedding new light on the concept of "traditional futures".
