I'm looking for literature on the relationship between concepts of 'sustainability' and 'sustainable development' and local practices in the Global South and/or indigenous communities in the Global North (e.g. First Nations).

Specifically, I'd like to know how 'sustainability' is defined; what forms of knowledge are privileged; and how local practices are described by outsiders (& vice versa).

All suggestions welcome!
