“Lindroth and Sinevaara-Niskanen’s comprehensive examination of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Arctic Council reveals a politics of inclusion premised on fantasized constructions of indigeneity by state and global actors. This timely and innovative work exposes contemporary myths of progress for indigenous peoples when operating within human rights regimes and the insincerity of global and regional forums for creating spaces of meaningful change amidst ongoing colonization.” (Jeff Corntassel, University of Victoria)
“This important book challenges the current celebration of indigeneity by looking at how this works through neoliberal ways of understanding the subject. It shows how arguments about resilience and adaptability actually undermine the creative agency of the indigenous subject while encouraging the view that vulnerability and uncertainty are inevitable. As such, the book provides a valuable resource in challenging dominant ways of thinkingthat appear to offer hope, while actually encouraging resignation.” (Jonathan Joseph, The University of Sheffield)
