Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, des anarchistes comme les géographes Pierre Kropotkine ou Élisée Reclus se sont intéressés aux peuples autochtones, qu'on a aussi qualifiés de « sociétés sans État ». Au début des années 2000, un peu partout sur le continent américain, des Autochtones ont modelé la notion d'« anarcho-indigénisme » pour attirer l'attention des anarchistes sur l'histoire et, surtout, sur l'actualité de leurs luttes.

C'est là le point de départ que revendique Démanteler les frontières. Alliant théorie politique (Fanon, Foucault, Negri et d'autres) et expérience de terrain, l'auteure aborde la question des droits migratoires dans le cadre d'une analyse critique...

Colonialism has failed at the only thing it set out to do: eliminate the Native. The history of colonialism is as much a story of its own failure as it is a story of colonial violence and Native dispossession. Few histories of colonialism, however, explore the story of colonialism's failure. An Enemy Such as This offers a new history of colonialism through the story of the Casuse family, a Navajo family whose members lived and died in a world remade...

Indian reservations were the United States' ultimate solution to the "problem" of what to do with native peoples who already occupied the western lands that Anglo settlers wanted. In this broadly inclusive study, Richard J.
