Exploring the influence of the Internet on the lives of indigenous and diasporic peoples, Kyra Landzelius leads a team of expert anthropologists and ethnographers who go on-site and on-line to explore how a diverse range of indigenous and transnational diasporic communities actually use the Internet. From the Taino Indians of the Caribbean, the U’wa of the Amazon rainforest, and the Tunomans and Assyrians of Iraq, to the Tingas and Zapatistas, Native on the Net is a lively and intriguing exploration of how new technologies have enabled these previously isolated peoples to reach new levels of communication and community: creating new communities online, confronting global corporations, or even challenging their own native traditions. Featuring case studies ranging from the Artic to the Australian outback, this book addresses important recurrent themes, such as the relationship between identity and place, community, traditional cultures and the nature of the ‘indigenous’. Native on the Net is a unique contribution to our knowledge of the impact of new global communication technologies on those who have traditionally been geographically, politically and economically marginalised.

Internet technology is transforming the lives of disenfranchised and politically marginalized people around the world - Tongas, Inuits, Native Amazonians, Hopi Indians and, most notoriously, the Zapatistas of Mexico. Crossing physical and political borders and working in a virtual space that evades policing, the web is used especially to broadcast alternative political agendas, but also for web discussion and online networking that creates new forms of protest, community and solidarity. 'Going Native on the Net' goes on-site to explore at first hand the lives and agendas of the indigenous and diasporic people who seek change through the internet, and who use it to subvert power structures of globalisation, nation state and multinationalism. Case studies come from Europe, the Pacific, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Native North America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia and South Asia. eBook Kyra Landzelius ePUB, Taylor & Francis Ltd., 01.11.2004, Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2004<
