The The Universe Is On Our Side: Restoring Faith In American Public Life, Bruce Ledewitz
The The Universe Is On Our Side: Restoring Faith In American Public Life, Bruce Ledewitz
Ledewitz Books
In The Universe Is On Our Side, Bruce Ledewitz argues that there has been a breakdown in American public life that no election can fix - Americans struggle to even converse about politics and the usual explanations for our condition have failed to make things better. Ledewitz posits that America is living with the consequences of the Death of God, which Friedrich Nietzsche presumed would be momentous and irreversible.For a long time, God acted as the story of the meaning of our lives. America's future requires that we begin a new story by each of us asking a question posed …

[Introduction To] Documents Of Native American Political Development: 1933 To Present, David E. Wilkins (Editor)
[Introduction To] Documents Of Native American Political Development: 1933 To Present, David E. Wilkins (Editor)
Bookshelf
Before Europeans arrived in what is now known as the United States, over 600 diverse Native nations lived on the same land. This encroachment and subsequent settlement by Americans forcibly disrupted the lives of all indigenous peoples and brought about staggering depopulation, loss of land, and cultural, religious, and economic changes. These developments also wrought profound changes in indigenous politics and longstanding governing institutions. David E. Wilkins' two-volume work Documents of Native American Political Development traces how indigenous peoples have maintained and continued to exercise a significant measure of self-determination contrary to presumptions that such powers had been lost, surrendered, …

[Introduction To] The Navajo Political Experience, David E. Wilkins
[Introduction To] The Navajo Political Experience, David E. Wilkins
Bookshelf

The Diné people and their governing leaders have recently experienced a host of events that dramatically affected the shape of the nation—a plethora of effective grassroots organizations that had a profound impact on the structure of …

[Introduction To] On The Drafting Of Tribal Constitutions, Felix S. Cohen, David E. Wilkins (Editor)
[Introduction To] On The Drafting Of Tribal Constitutions, Felix S. Cohen, David E. Wilkins (Editor)
Bookshelf
Felix Cohen (1907-1953) was a leading architect of the Indian New Deal and steadfast champion of American Indian rights. Appointed to the Department of the Interior in 1933, he helped draft the Indian Reorganization Act (1934) and chaired a committee charged with assisting tribes in organizing their governments. His "Basic Memorandum on Drafting of Tribal Constitutions," submitted in November 1934, provided practical guidelines for that effort.
Largely forgotten until Cohen's papers were released more than half a century later, the memorandum now receives the attention it has long deserved. David E. Wilkins presents the entire work, edited and introduced with …
The New World Order: Sovereignty, Human Rights And The Self-Determination Of Peoples, Mortimer N.S. Sellers
The New World Order: Sovereignty, Human Rights And The Self-Determination Of Peoples, Mortimer N.S. Sellers
Books
The end of the Cold War has allowed for the prospect of a New World Order, in which the United Nations and other 'international actors' may return to their post-war mandate of maintaining international peace and security through collective action. This book addresses the central question of sovereignty under the new regime: which internal actions of states will justify intervention by the international community? The unifying theme of these chapters — written from a wide variety of national and cultural perspectives — is the conflict between cultural relativism and human rights in the postmodern world. Eleven authors address these questions …
