Project description
My multi-sited ethnography researches the Philippine’s indigenous people’s evacuation as nonviolent resistance against extractive industries and state-sponsored violence. Considered as one of the most historical non-violent indigenous political movements, the study narrates their struggles, advocacy on food, and climate justice, and analyzes their political lived experience and right to live through their indigenous campaigns amidst violent attacks and necropolitics.
