Call for Papers

Call for Papers For the Third Issue of
Indigenous Politics: Migration/Citizenship/Cyberspace (2008)
Guest Editors: Petrice Flowers, Jungmin Seo

Possible topics for the final issue might focus on the relations between race and space in conceiving the indigenous.

Historically, migration and diasporic communities have created indigenous/non-indigenous divides related, but not identical to race and ethnicity. How are these flows of people and ideas as well as the institutions to manage then, impeded or assisted by the state and other social, political, and economic institutions? What does improved knowledge and understanding of these flows contribute to how one defines an indigenous person or community? What role do global technologies play in linking migrant and diasporic communities to each other and to the homeland? Please see the attached call for papers for a more comprehensive explanation of this three-volume special series and for instructions for submitting abstracts.
