Questão Indígena, Povos Indígenas, Geografia anglófona, Indigeneidade, NeoliberalismoAbstract
The article presents and discusses some concepts and current approaches in Geography produced in the English-speaking world regarding Indigenous issues, as well as how these propositions converge with or diverge from the Brazilian socio-spatial reality. It provides a spatiotemporal contextualization of significant differences between the Anglophone and Brazilian discursive reference loci, a debate on the concept of indigeneity, and an "erasure" of territory. I comment on the incorporation of more-than-human theories into Geography and the neoliberalization of Indigenous territory management under the guise of governance. I conclude by highlighting possible applications of these ideas in Abya Yala from an anti-colonial perspective.
