Abstract

This collection of essays is a timely exploration of the progress of Aboriginal rights movements in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Contributors compare the situations in Canada and Mexico, in both of which demands by Aboriginal people for political autonomy and sovereignty are increasing, and explore why there is little corresponding activity in the United States. The essays address problems of constructing new political arrangements, practical questions about the viability of multiple governments within one political system, and epistemological questions about recognizing and understanding the "other."

Lindau and Curtis Cook; A Just Relationship Between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Peoples of Canada -- James Tully (University of Victoria); Indigenous Movements and Politics in Mexico and Latin America -- Rodolfo Stavenhagen (Colegio de Mexico); Rights and Self-Government for Canada?s Aboriginal Peoples -- C.E.S.

Abstract

Les études de cet ouvrage illustrent l’équilibre toujours changeant que les sociétés démocratiques doivent trouver entre deux logiques sociales opposées : celle qui voit dans l’individu le fondement des valeurs d’autonomie et de pluralisme, et celle qui rappelle que l’individu est toujours le produit d’un milieu sociohistorique particulier et qu’il a des responsabilités comme citoyen. Les termes individu et citoyen renvoient aux deux logiques à l’œuvre dans les sociétés démocratiques. La logique universaliste, d’une part, ne cesse d’approfondir les exigences d’autonomie des sujets et de pluralisme des institutions. La logique particulariste, d’autre part, rappelle que l’individu est toujours le produit d’un milieu sociohistorique particulier et que le processus d’individuation est le résultat même de la constitution de l’État moderne. La tension entre ces deux logiques est au cœur des études de cet ouvrage qui illustrent sur quels équilibres se constitue la synthèse concrète et changeante de la société moderne.

Abstract

Spirit Wars is an exploration of the ways in which the destruction of spiritual practices and beliefs of native peoples in North America has led to conditions of collective suffering--a process sometimes referred to as cultural genocide. Ronald Niezen approaches this topic through wide-ranging case studies involving different colonial powers and state governments: the seventeenth-century Spanish occupation of the Southwest, the colonization of the Northeast by the French and British, nineteenth-century westward expansion and nationalism in the swelling United States and Canada, and twentieth-century struggles for native people's spiritual integrity and freedom. Each chapter deals with a specific dimension of the relationship between native peoples and non-native institutions, and together these topics yield a new understanding of the forces directed against the underpinnings of native cultures.

Abstract

Bilingualism is a reality that many Americans still find difficult to accept; hence the prominence of English-only activism in U.S. politics. This collection of essays analyzes the sources of the anti-bilingual movement, its changing directions, and its impact on education policy. The book also explores efforts to resist the English-only trend, including projects to revitalize Native American languages.
