Indigenous Cultures in Settler Colonial East Asia
In this course participants will explore Cultural Anthropology’s study of the Native, the discipline’s complicity in legitimizing forms of violence on Indigenous Peoples, and the recent rise of Indigenous East Asian Anthropologists and Scholars responding to the discipline. Using historical and contemporary case studies in East Asia, participants will examine the interconnections of settler colonial structures across nations, regions and oceans. Thematically, we will focus on the discourse of development and the frontier, settler state policies, migration, citizenship and sovereignty, Indigenous activism in media and art, gender and resistance.
