The first book indexed by Southwest Humanities to be published in 2024, and the thirty-second Duke University Press index so far, is Indigenous Peoples and Borders, edited by Sheryl Lightfoot and Elsa Stamatopoulou. Drawing on multiple disciplines, including border studies, Indigenous studies, human rights, international relations, and public policy, this collection explores the notion of borders as it relates to Indigenous peoples and cultures around the world. “From Bangladesh’s colonially imposed militarized borders to resource extraction in the Russian Arctic and along the Colombia-Ecuador border to the transportation of toxic pesticides from the United States to Mexico, the chapters examine sovereignty, power, and obstructions to Indigenous rights and self-determination as well as globalization and the economic impacts of borders.” Contributors include Tone Bleie, Andrea Carmen, Jacqueline Gillis, Rauna Kuokkanen, Elifuraha Laltaika, Sheryl Lightfoot, David Bruce MacDonald, Toa Elisa Maldonado Ruiz, Binalakshmi “Bina” Nepram, Melissa Z. Patel, Manoel B. do Prado Junior, Hana Shams Ahmed, Elsa Stamatopoulou, Liubov Suliandziga, Rodion Sulyandziga, Yifat Susskind, and Erika M. Yamada.
