Book Synopsis Book of the Fourth World by : Gordon Brotherston
Download or read book Book of the Fourth World written by Gordon Brotherston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-11-24 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of the Fourth World offers detailed analyses of texts that range far back into the centuries of civilised life from what is now Latin- and Anglo-America. At the time of its 'discovery', the American continent was identified as the Fourth World of our planet. In the course of just a few centuries its original inhabitants, though settled there for millennia and countable in many millions, have come to be perceived as a marginal if not entirely dispensable factor in the continent's destiny. Today the term has been taken up again by its native peoples, to describe their own world: both its threatened present condition, and its political history, which stretches back thousands of years before Columbus. In order to explore the literature of this world, Brotherston uses primary sources that have traditionally been ignored because they have not conformed to Western definitions of oral and written literature, such as the scrolls of the Algonkin, the knotted strings (Quipus) of the Inca, Navajo dry-paintings and the encyclopedic pages of Meso-America's screenfold books.
Download or read book The Fourth World written by George Manuel and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A foundational work of radical anticolonialism, back in print Originally published in 1974, The Fourth World is a critical work of Indigenous political activism that has long been out of print. George Manuel, a leader in the North American Indian movement at that time, with coauthor journalist Michael Posluns, presents a rich historical document that traces the struggle for Indigenous survival as a nation, a culture, and a reality. The authors shed light on alternatives for coexistence that would take place in the Fourth World—an alternative to the new world, the old world, and the Third World. Manuel was the first to develop this concept of the “fourth world” to describe the place occupied by Indigenous nations within colonial nation-states. Accompanied by a new Introduction and Afterword, this book is as poignant and provocative today as it was when first published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gerdes' brief but informative introduction makes clear that he has been a sensitive reader of El cuarto mundo. The two narrators, although twins - one male, one female, tell different tales and use language very differently. Translation is competent, but Gerdes' own language lacks the dynamic energy of Eltit's, perhaps because he follows the Spanish structures so closely"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Download or read book The Fourth World War written by comte Alexandre de Marenches and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1992 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As longtime head of French intelligence, Count de Marenches served as the confidant and adviser to the world's most powerful men. Charles de Gaulle, Henry Kissinger, and Ronald Reagan are among the statesmen, princes, and presidents from around the globe who sought and still seek his advice. Now, in this startling book, he describes his life in global intelligence from World War II to the present - including his reflections on world leaders from Churchill to Gorbachev - and delivers a chilling "state of the world" message." "De Marenches, together with foreign affairs commentator David A. Andelman, holds that we have passed through three world wars in this century - the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War - only to find ourselves now engaged in the deadliest conflict of all. The Fourth World War is pitting North against South, nations with continuous traditions against those with a history of cultural, religious, and military upheaval. It is a war waged by terrorist networks and drug cartels unassailable through conventional strategies. Intelligence, the authors hold, will be the crucial weapon in this Fourth World War, in which all parties will be forced to fight by terrorist rules." "Regarded as one of the great geopolitical seers of our time, Count de Marenches reveals in The Fourth World War his own prominent yet covert role in world politics, including his impact on American foreign policy, and details the inner workings of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. The Fourth World War is a compelling memoir and a spellbinding warning for our times."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book Synopsis Against Culture by : Kirk Dombrowski
Download or read book Against Culture written by Kirk Dombrowski and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a small Tlingit village in 1992, newly converted members of an all-native church started a bonfire of "non-Christian" items including, reportedly, native dancing regalia. The burnings recalled an earlier century in which church converts in the same village burned totem poles, and stirred long simmering tensions between native dance groups and fundamentalist Christian churches throughout the region. This book traces the years leading up to the most recent burnings and reveals the multiple strands of social tension defining Tlingit and Haida life in Southeast Alaska today. ø Author Kirk Dombrowksi roots these tensions in a history of misunderstanding and exploitation of native life, including, most recently, the consequences of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. He traces the results of economic upheaval, changes in dependence on timber and commercial fishing, and differences over the meaning of contemporary native culture that lie beneath current struggles. His cogent, highly readable analysis shows how these local disputes reflect broader problems of negotiating culture and Native American identity today. Revealing in its ethnographic details, arresting in its interpretive insights, Against Culture raises important practical and theoretical implications for the understanding of indigenous cultural and political processes.
