Indigenous Rights, Necropolitics and the 'Daily Genocides' of Brazil’s Native and Traditional Peoples
View through CrossRef
The main argument of this chapter is that the dangerous combination of neoconservatism (FORTES, 2016), neoliberal/necropolitical policies (DALL'ALBA et al., 2021), and the strengthening of the agribusiness lobby (IORIS, 2016) is leading to rights violations and the “daily genocides” of Indigenous peoples and traditional peoples and communities in Brazil, even though this sort of genocide may not be recognized by international law. To sustain our argument, we adopt Bartolomé Clavero’s (2011) definition of genocidios cotidianos (“daily genocides”) and apply it to the experience of the subjects under analysis. We also argue that the concept of “necropolitics”, coined by Achille Mbembe, is somewhat essential to understanding this type of violence.<br>
