Turf Wars : Territory and Citizenship in the Contemporary State, Hardcover by Ng'weno, Bettina, ISBN 0804755965, ISBN-13 9780804755962, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Ng'weng (African and African American studies, U. of California) compares how indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities mobilize ethnic identity in pursuing claims to territorial rights in Colombia. His main theoretical concerns are the grounds for and means by which the process of governance is produced in claims to ethnic territories, the role of categorization as a state effect used to restructure territoriality and as an essential part of state functioning, and the central position of territory in the negotiation and production of state transformation. He argues that territorial claims are the setting through which the goals of citizenship in terms of resources, livelihood, self-definition, and political opening are produced within the contemporary state.
