Description

Sovereignty, Colonialism, And The Future Of The Indigenous Nations: A Reader Robert Odawi Porter ISBN 9780890893333

This book is a comprehensive anthology examining the concepts of sovereignty and self-determination as they relate to Indigenous nations and peoples in the United States. Its primary aim is to provide readers with a framework to study and analyze the complex interplay of legal, political, economic, and cultural factors that shape the status of Indigenous nations within American society.

Organized into three parts, each prefaced with guiding questions, the book first explores Indigenous nation sovereignty from multiple perspectives: those of Indigenous peoples, colonizing populations, and the international community. The second part examines the various threats to this sovereignty, while the final section considers strategies for preserving and strengthening Indigenous nation sovereignty moving forward.

The readings are wide-ranging and selected to foster critical discussion and engagement. The collection includes speeches, testimony, policy statements, court cases, statutes, articles, book chapters, and newspaper reports. Materials are carefully edited, with minimal footnotes and citations, to highlight key concepts and facilitate comprehension.

Designed for both law school and non-law school audiences, the book is suitable for courses on law and policy concerning Indigenous nations, American history, and international law affecting minorities and Indigenous peoples. It is also well-suited for undergraduate courses and seminars seeking to engage students with these pressing issues.
