Introduction
I am a cultural and political geographer with expertise on a range of topics related to Indigenous Peoples, including land claims, environmental governance, tourism development, migration, urbanisation and the Indigenous right to the city. My research is based on fieldwork in Latin America (Chile), North America (Québec) and the Pacific (New Caledonia). Between 2016 and 2021, I worked at Université de Lille where I led the Indigenous Geographies / INDIGEO project funded by the ANR.

After the conquest of their customary territory by the Chilean army in the late nineteenth century, most of the Mapuche were compelled to migrate towards large regional urban areas in central Chile. This process has continued to increase over the last century to the extent that Mapuche society has become mainly urbanised. To examine the territorial...

Ce numéro de L’Information géographique aborde le concept de différence en tant qu’il participe à la construction des espaces urbains. La différence peut aussi bien être attribuée de façon négative que revendiquée de façon positive. Dans tous les cas elle entraine des usages de l’espace différenciés.

For many indigenous peoples, the city was historically constructed as a space of exclusion and domination that relegated them to the confines of the very idea of modernity. However, the current construction of collective spaces enables them to renegotiate their position within the urban fabric. This article aims at understanding the territorial rec...
