What happens to indigenous culture and identity when being rooted in a fixed cultural setting
is no longer necessary - or even possible? Does cultural displacement mean that indigeneity
vanishes? How is being and becoming indigenous (i.e. indigeneity) experienced and practiced
along translocal pathways? How are new philosophies and politics of indigenous identification
(indigenism) constructed in new translocal settings? The essays in this collection develop our
understandings of cosmopolitanism and transnationalism and related processes and experiences
of social and cultural globalization showing us that these do not spell the end of ways of
being and becoming indigenous. Instead indigeneity is reengaged in wider fields finding
alternative ways of being established and projected or bolstering older ways of doing so
while reaching out to other cultures.
