Indigenous Statistics From Data Deficits To Data Sovereignty | Anthropology

This second edition of the groundbreaking Indigenous Statistics opens up a major new approach to research across the disciplines and applied fields.

Drawing on a diverse new author team this book dismantles that persistent positivism with a forceful critique then fills the void with a new paradigm for Indigenous quantitative methods using concrete examples of research projects from first world Indigenous Peoples in the United States Australia Aotearoa New Zealand and Canada. Concise and accessible it is an ideal supplementary text as well as a core component of the methodological toolkit for anyone conducting Indigenous research or using Indigenous population statistics. This is an essential text for students studying quantitative methods statistics and research methods.
