Abstract

There is a dearth of criminological scholarship on how the political persuasions of governments affect Indigenous people as it relates to human rights and environmental consequences, whether positive or negative, for Indigenous peoples. To address this gap, we develop a comparative instrumental case study of the policies concerning Indigenous peoples implemented during two political periods in Brazil: the administrations of presidents Silva (2003–2010) and Rousseff (2011–2016) and the administrations of Temer (2016–2018) and Bolsonaro (2019–). We explore the consequences for Indigenous peoples of these leftist and the right-wing governments. We argue that governments of both political leanings victimize Indigenous populations, with leftist governments using structural violence and right-wing governments engaging additionally in symbolic and direct violence.

政治与原住民受害：以巴西为例

摘要

关于政府的政治劝说如何影响土著人民，因为它与对土著人民的人权和环境后果（无论是正面的还是负面的）有关，因此缺乏犯罪学研究。为了解决这一差距，我们针对巴西两个政治时期（席尔瓦总统（2003-2010年）和鲁塞夫（2011-2016年）的政府以及特梅尔（2016年）的政府在巴西实施的有关土著人民的政策进行了比较工具性的案例研究。 –2018）和Bolsonaro（2019–）。我们探讨了这些左翼政府和右翼政府对土著人民的后果。我们认为，两种政治倾向的政府都是土著居民的受害者，
