Returns - Becoming Indigenous in the Twenty-First Century

About the author

James Clifford is Professor Emeritus in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Summary

Returns—third in a trilogy—explores the ways people recover and renew their roots. James Clifford looks at native peoples who have become not victims but inventive agents of a tangled, open-ended modernity. Their returns to the land, performances of heritage, and diasporic ties are strategies for moving toward “traditional futures.”
