Peace Power Righteousness 2nd Edition: An Indigenous Manifesto - Alfred

Descriere Peace Power Righteousness 2nd Edition: An Indigenous Manifesto - Alfred

\nThis visionary manifesto, first published in 1999, has significantly improved our understanding of First Nations' issues. Taiaiake Alfred calls for the indigenous peoples of North America to move beyond their 500-year history of pain, loss, and colonization, and move forward to the reality of \nself-determination. A leading Kanien'kehaka scholar and activist with intimate knowledge of both Native and Western traditions of thought, Alfred is uniquely placed to write this inspiring book. His account of the history and future of the indigenous peoples of North America is at once a bold and \nforceful critique of Indigenous leaders and politics, and a sensitive reflection on the traumas of colonization that shape our existence. \nThis new edition of Alfred's important manifesto is thoroughly updated in the context of current issues related to government policy and First Nations politics today. In addition to new examples of indigenous-state relations, it includes the latest court cases and updated evaluations of key \nnegotiations over land and self-government. A new preface incorporates an original, previously unpublished dialogue with the influential Dakota author, historian, and activist Vine Deloria Jr, recorded shortly before his death in 2005. \n\n
