The City

This chapter follows Native and Euro-American communities in eastern Massachusetts through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, examining a series of commemorations and counterprotests that unfolded in urbanizing areas and related sites. It analyzes how Bostonians’ conceptions of the city and modernity tended to exclude Native peoples from both, instead relegating them to the past—despite the presence of numerous “Urban Indians” in the growing metropolis, who were seeking employment and social opportunities. It considers a series of pageants and historical markers erected across the Commonwealth, as well as Native pushback against dominant Euro-American narratives about history, such as a 1970 gathering in Patuxet/Plymouth, Massachusetts that foregrounded Indigenous perspectives and inaugurated an annual National Day of Mourning. The chapter also details how tribal communities challenged plans to build a sewage treatment plant on Deer Island, on grounds considered intensely sensitive for their ties to the incarcerations of King Philip’s War. Finally, it illuminates a recent series of memorial journeys along the Charles River and Boston Harbor Islands in which mishoonash (Native dugout canoes) have played important roles in reconnecting Native descendants to the landscapes of ancestors, as well as providing avenues for Indigenous solidarities into the future.

Central Resource

En el artículo se analiza la etnografía y sus técnicas de investigación tradicionales como recurso central para identificar espacios públicos y privados, así como prácticas sociales ligadas a la reproducción de procesos de etnicidad urbana, tanto en metrópolis como en ciudades medias en México. El acercamiento reciente con grupos indígenas ha llevado a replantear la puesta en práctica de ciertas técnicas de investigación consideradas propias del método etnográfico en la antropología. Me refiero a la observación participante, la entrevista dirigida y el registro en el diario de campo. La agencia mostrada en la actualidad por sujetos, familias y colectivos indígenas radicados en diversas ciudades mexicanas, problematiza los contenidos y formas asociados tradicionalmente a dichas técnicas, además de ponderar prácticas de reflexividad por parte de los investigadores. A partir de la revisión de diversos trabajos con indígenas urbanos desarrollados en la última década, se discuten dichas consideraciones a la luz de proponer nuevas prácticas en las formas y contenido etnográfico con sujetos, familias, colectivos y grupos indígenas radicados en diversos centros urbanos mexicanos.Challenges for ethnographic work with urban indians in mexican citiesAbstractThis article analyzes ethnography and its traditional research techniques as a central resource to identify public and private spaces as well as social practices linked to the reproduction of processes of urban ethnicity, both in metropolis and in medium-sized cities in Mexico. The recent approach with indigenous groups has led to rethink the implementation of certain research techniques considered appropriate to the ethnographic method in anthropology. It means the participant observation, the directed interview and the reports in the field notebook. The agency currently shown by individuals, families and indigenous groups based in various Mexican cities problematizes the contents and forms traditionally associated with these techniques, as well as weighing reflexivity practices by researchers. From reviewing various works developed with urban indigenous in the last decade, these considerations are discussed in the light of proposing new practices in ethnographic forms and content with subjects, families, groups and indigenous groups located in various Mexican urban centers.Keywords: Ethnography; ethnographic reflexivity; urban indigenous; citiesand indigenous.Desafios do trabalho etnográfico com indígenas urbanos em cidades mexicanasResumoNo artigo analisa-se a etnografia e suas técnicas de pesquisa tradicionais como recurso central para identificar espaços públicos e privados, bem como práticas sociais ligadas à reprodução de processos de etnicidade urbana, tanto em metrópoles como em cidades médias no México.

Public Imagination

The Lokpal Act, arguably the most dramatic example of recent activism, is the subject matter of this chapter. After summarizing the episodic history and the institutional details of the Lokpal/Lokayukta laws in India since the late 1960s the chapter begins the narrative in late 2010 with a letter from Arvind Kejriwal to Sonia Gandhi protesting the runaway corruption in telecom auctions and CWG. Arvind Kejriwal spearheaded the formation of India Against Corruption (IAC) demanding a pretty radical Jan Lokpal as an independent authority. Support built up steadily till Anna Hazare’s iconic indefinite fast in April 2011 that captured headline and public imagination alike. The government capitulated after a week, and drafting—difficult and contentious—started. After much wrangling and further fasts, a Lokpal Act came into existence in 2013. Touching middle class urban Indians like nothing before it, the movement exemplified punctuated equilibrium and multiple streams approach.

Opera Singers

This article explores the careers and political activism of Native opera singers in the Southwest of the 1920s. I argue that a number of talented Native artists recognized that engaging their audiences directly in live performances provided opportunities for public education in addition to their economic benefits. Partnering with regional boosters, they built careers performing in multiple pageants and events sponsored by municipalities across the Southwest. Live performance with its direct access to audiences also facilitated their political agendas of publicizing Indigenous histories. Their careers highlight the mobility of Indigenous people, demonstrating how they helped create modern urban spaces across the American Southwest.
