Beyond Second-Class Citizenship In Peruvian Amazonia: Everyday life, civil society organisations and indigenous Awajun perspectives
Sarah A. Radcliffe is Professor Emerita of Latin American Geography at the University of Cambridge. She has undertaken extensive collaborative research in Latin America, largely in Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Mexico. Her research addresses sociospatial dynamics of exclusion and contestation around development, nation-state formation, cartography and counter-cartography, as well as gender and Indigenous intersectionality. In addition to numerous journal articles and chapters on these topics, her publications include Re-Making the Nation (1996 co-authored), Indigenous Development in the Andes (2009, co-authored), and Dilemmas of Difference (2015). In addition to Latin American research, she engaged discussions at departmental and national levels on processes of decolonizing geography, some of which were published in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers (2017) and Decolonizing Geography: an introduction (Wiley & Sons, 2022). Her current project, funded by The Leverhulme Trust, works collaboratively with indigenous researchers and organisations to understand everyday citizenships among Kichwa in Ecuador and Awajun in Peru.
