POLS 342 - Indigenous Peoples and Modernity

Institution:

University of Hawaii-West Oahu

Subject:

Description:

This course offers a comparative understanding of the growing importance of nations not represented by states - the indigenous peoples of the fourth world. Case studies will draw from the experience of Native Hawaiians, Native Americans, Australian Aborigines, and South African San (among others) to clarify struggles for cultural and political sovereignty, and the growing contribution of such earth-based societies to politics and cosmology beyond modernity. The goal will be to facilitate constructive discourse between indigenous peoples and the citizens of industrial nations. (Cross-list ANTH/HPST 342)
