"Inquiring into the philosophical and conceptual bases of International Relations (IR)'s inattention to Indigenous peoples, Beier argues that this exclusion is traceable to shared (and uninterrogated) cosmological commitments underwriting both orthodox and emancipatory theories in the field. The most immediate effect of this is that Indigenous people's own accounts of their insertion(s) into the global polity are rendered implausible. Simultaneously, our existing discourses of global politics are implicated in and impoverished by the exclusionary legacies of colonialism and its knowledges. The book also makes a contribution to the still underdeveloped state of thinking about qualitative research methods in IR - a field in which ethnographic fieldwork is increasingly undertaken without the benefit of relevant methodological competencies."--BOOK JACKET.
