Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. udra Simpson’s Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States (2014) is a masterful anthropological inquiry into the political dimensions of indigenous life on the Kahnawà:ke reserve, which is located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, near Montreal, Quebec. Drawing on her own ethnographic work, Professor Simpson seeks to inspire new anthropological approaches to Indigenous living that is attentive to their contemporary, ongoing political reality. Showing first how past anthropological work has erased the ongoing effect of settler colonialism, and participated in creating a fixed conception of Iroquois culture which erases Iroquois subjectivities, the book refutes those misconceptions by attending to the nested sovereignties and the politics of refusal integral to Kahnawà:ke’s history. I think clearly this is a critical work to think about refusal and how refusal is taken up both by scholars (as in "ethnographic refusal" which ought to be taught waaaaay more often in methods and ethics courses like why don't we talk about that more??) but also as a way of Indigenous politics that is really worth thinking about. I think for NN folks, this is definitely worth thinking about borders and recognition/refusal, and in thinking about what constitutes sovereignty and recognizable sovereignty. I will probably be returning to this at some point, because it's such a critical work and some of it was fairly dense, but I do think it has so much to contribute in terms of thinking about mobility and its limits. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Mohawk Interruptus is a bold challenge to dominant thinking in the fields of Native studies and anthropology. Combining political theory with ethnographic research among the Mohawks of Kahnawà:ke, a reserve community in what is now southwestern Quebec, Audra Simpson examines their struggles to articulate and maintain political sovereignty through centuries of settler colonialism. The Kahnawà:ke Mohawks are part of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. Like many Iroquois peoples, they insist on the integrity of Haudenosaunee governance and refuse American or Canadian citizenship. Audra Simpson thinks through this politics of refusal, which stands in stark contrast to the politics of cultural recognition. Tracing the implications of refusal, Simpson argues that one sovereign political order can exist nested within a sovereign state, albeit with enormous tension around issues of jurisdiction and legitimacy. Finally, Simpson critiques anthropologists and political scientists, whom, she argues, have too readily accepted the assumption that the colonial project is complete. Belying that notion, Mohawk Interruptus calls for and demonstrates more robust and evenhanded forms of inquiry into indigenous politics in the teeth of settler governance.
