Across the Americas, Indigenous and Afro-descendent peoples have demanded, and achieved, autonomy, self-determination, and self-governance. Yet these achievements come in conflict with the the policies of national governments.

Available for the first time in English, Indigenous Territorial Autonomy and Self-Government in the Diverse Americas explores current and historical struggles for autonomy within ancestral territories, experiences of self-governance in operation, and presents an overview of achievements, challenges, and threats across three decades. This book will spark critical reflection on political experience and further exploration of the possibilities of the self-determination of peoples through territorial autonomies.
