In the Global South, Indigenous and Native people continue to live under colonial relations within formally independent nation-states. Sebastian Garbe offers a critical perspective on contemporary expressions of international solidarity and transnational advocacy. He combines approaches from critical race and decolonial studies with an activist ethnography on networked spaces of encounters created through solidarity activism by Mapuche and non-Mapuche actors. Departing from those experiences, this book not only presents potential pitfalls of transnational advocacy but suggests new ways of understanding and practicing solidarity.
»Dieses Buch [ist] sowohl für die Fachgemeinschaft der transnationalen Bewegungsforschung als auch für Aktivist_innen, die sich in diversen internationalen Solidaritätsnetzwerken engagieren, aufschlussreich. Es motiviert, gängige Verständnis- und Wahrnehmungsformen von Solidarität zu hinterfragen.« Anja Habersang, Peripherie, 42/2 (2022) »This book is a novel engagement with the potentialities and pitfalls of international political solidarity across colonial differences.« Andrea Sempertegui, Alternautas, 9/1 (2022) Besprochen in: lateinamerika anders, 4 (2022), Erhard Stackl
