Abstract

This paper uses the example of First Nations housing in British Columbia to explore how culturally legitimate community economies are being advanced to overcome the deficiencies of top-down, state-led housing efforts and market relations. Through the lens of the diverse economy, we highlight how First Nations community institutions can and do serve to oversee the utilization of territorial forest resources for the production and distribution of housing materials locally. The findings point towards First Nations communities navigating (often in latent ways) complex sites of decision-making through: ethical negotiations related to (de)commoditization; needs and surplus evaluation; and transactions and rules of (in) commensurability. While these examples appear to challenge the conventional logics of capitalist-market institutions, First Nations communities also must contend with the many structural barricades to change that exist within the settler-colonial institutional framework.

(再)建设第一国家社区经济:从森林到框架

本文以不列颠哥伦比亚省的第一民族住房为例，探讨文化上合法的社区经济如何被推进，以克服自上而下、国家主导的住房努力和市场关系的缺陷。从多样化经济的角度来看，我们强调第一民族社区机构如何能够而且确实监督利用领土森林资源在当地生产和分配住房材料。研究结果表明，原住民社区(通常以潜在的方式)通过以下方式进行复杂的决策:与(去)商品化相关的道德谈判;需求和剩余评估;交易和通约性规则。虽然这些例子似乎挑战了资本主义市场制度的传统逻辑，但原住民社区也必须与存在于定居者-殖民地制度框架内的许多结构性障碍作斗争。

期刊介绍： Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space is a pluralist and heterodox journal of economic research, principally concerned with questions of urban and regional restructuring, globalization, inequality, and uneven development. International in outlook and interdisciplinary in spirit, the journal is positioned at the forefront of theoretical and methodological innovation, welcoming substantive and empirical contributions that probe and problematize significant issues of economic, social, and political concern, especially where these advance new approaches. The horizons of Economy and Space are wide, but themes of recurrent concern for the journal include: global production and consumption networks; urban policy and politics; race, gender, and class; economies of technology, information and knowledge; money, banking, and finance; migration and mobility; resource production and distribution; and land, housing, labor, and commodity markets. To these ends, Economy and Space values a diverse array of theories, methods, and approaches, especially where these engage with research traditions, evolving debates, and new directions in urban and regional studies, in human geography, and in allied fields such as socioeconomics and the various traditions of political economy.
