201 / At Land's End / Tania Li

I am joined by Tania Li, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto and the author of Land’s End: Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier. In our era of globalized neoliberal capitalism, the emergence of capitalist economic and social relations among Indigenous communities is primarily examined as a result of overbearing external pressures, e.g., governments, nonprofit organizations, and multinational corporations—often in tandem. It is important, however, to recognize that while this is often the case, this view does not include the ways capitalism can emerge and take hold in far more subtle ways. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/tania-li // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
