The Afterlives of Kinship: Genetic-Based Reparations and Indigeneity
Start a new DMP in Loading
What happens when DNA testing meets the intricate tapestry of indigenous/peasant peoples kinship? This project delves into Peru’s Genetic Data Bank (GDB), exploring its implications for historical reparations. Designed to match genetic profiles of human remains with living relatives, the GDB operates on the assumption that family ties reflect biogenetic inheritance; however, indigenous/peasant people’s kinship challenges this notion. This project seeks to explore the following questions from an anthropological perspective: How do indigenous/peasant rights intersect with the control of genetic information? What roles does kinship play in the quest for reparative justice?
