This special issue is a follow-up to the previous JEASA volume10, number 2 (2019), also titled Alter/Native Spaces. It is guest-edited by Vanessa Castejon who co-organised, together with Salhia Ben Messahel, the European Association for Studies of Australia conference of the same title in Toulon, France, in 2019. As mentioned in the foreword to the first special issue, the articles collected here manifest an interest in exploring the ways in which decentering and alter/Native spaces converge with the study of Indigeneity on the one hand, and with juxtaposing the local and the global on the other. All five articles elaborate and comment on the notions of identity, belonging and places/spaces. …………
