As the civilizational crisis in the west intensifies, many peoples around the world deepen their commitments to their own histories and ways of life by declaring their autonomy.
In this workshop, we will examine the ways that communities continue to turn inward and out to build autonomies otherwise. While many of the cases will come from across the Americas, we will also discuss some historical practices of shared or communal tenure, such as the Palestinian Masha'a.
We will look at what place-based autonomy means, how peoples or pueblos use it to preserve and protect life, and what lessons we can draw for our own liberation.
