Indigenous Economies and the Social and Solidarity Economy

Despite cultural specificities with regard to what enlivens economic exchanges, SSE and indigenous economies have many commonalities within the community economy framework. This entry focuses on three of them, namely: (1) the way in which the SSE and indigenous economies foster the re-embeddedness of the economy through redistribution and reciprocity mechanisms; (2) the constitution of community-based aesthetics, presenting alternative ways of sense-making and valuing; and (3) the role that indigenous women and women in SSE have played in the political embeddedness of householding.
