Title
Comparative perspectives on  state  codification of indigeneity and access;  cases of remote area dwellers and other historically marginalised populations. 

Sidsel Saugestad will look at the  case of Botswana and Rwanda and compare along two  dimensions:
The similarities in the western, colonial (and neighbouring tribes’) stereotypes about small peoples (San, Twa) , -
and the problems that  modern, presumably democratic systems have in finding  a terminology  that recognise these peoples as special cases, without specifically saying so.
Or to put it differently, is there a pattern in the  euphemisms, paraphrases,  circumlocutions, that are  being used? I will give some data, you will help to find the answer.
