Numerous historians of science have documented the vital role of late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century science as a part of statecraft, a means of extending empire. This book follows imperialism into the present, demonstrating how pursuit of knowledge of the natural world impacts, and is impacted by, indigenous peoples rather than nation-states. In extractive biocolonialism, the valued genetic resources, and associated agricultural and medicinal knowledge, of indigenous peoples are sought, legally converted into private intellectual property, transformed into commodities, and then placed for sale in genetic marketplaces. Science, Colonialism, and Indigenous Peoples critically examines these developments, demonstrating how contemporary relations between indigenous and Western knowledge systems continue to be shaped by the dynamics of power, the politics of property, and the apologetics of law. 517 3 $aScience, Colonialism, & Indigenous Peoples 606 $aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aIntellectual property 606 $aTraditional ecological knowledge$xLaw and legislation 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aIntellectual property. 615 0$aTraditional ecological knowledge$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a346.04/8 700 $aWhitt$b Laurelyn$01534751 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778592203321 996 $aScience, colonialism, and Indigenous peoples$93782542 997 $aUNINA
