' PREFACE 0 This booklet was compiled and written as a present to 1)-2. UniveAsity. The idea'tiot 'it came in September 1979wh3i a Native Ammican HeatthCon6nence in San Ftancisco, ,people came to the intionmatiqn tab& set up by tecumseh Center, wanting in6onmatiWn about D--0.1, and therm was nothing to give to them. The 6inat decision was then made in a *convemation with Jack Fonbei who beet, not untike mysetti, thit it would be a waste oti time to spend my whole research yeah. in the UC Davi6-tibnami, pursuing my own research and umiting the tamer study, which, miginatty, I came here to do.So, the iitst chapter 'oti this book was written, until mid-NoveRbet, and David Rizting, Jr., and Jack D. 'Forbes handed in the attictes'inctuded in this collection. Then, Lot seveAat months, I dropped the project allogethen and teamed my own neseanch, waiting Lon other V -QU feopte to contribute that own mateniats. Itn tate November, 1979, Phittip Deene came to ,A-QM an4 gave a speech in tinont oti both 1)-04 and DaViA students. The speech was taped with his peAmis,;ion, Aoe Cattatin, aiso'fAansqAibed two dhen taped mateAiat4 Lon Ilia study, wrote down the speech, Kathy Tappet typed it, and we sent a copy to Oklahoma, asking PhALUp Deuce whether we could . include it in thisstudy. Untiontunatety, Phillip and the peopte-wotking with him dectined out tequest,'saying they wanted to use the speech themselves and that two years ago, white .in Geneva, a French joutnatist had used many speeches and pubtishedthem, white those who had delivered them were tionced to:pay Lon. thgin own hood. Trying to undenstand this amulet, but atzo being still very much interested including something by Phittip Deuce, Jack .Forbes came up with the happy sotation .to quote a,non-copynighted speech by Phittip Deuce, that had been pubtizhed pteviourty. I hope, that this Sotutionwith,/ also please Phittip Veers, who has shown his support eon. 1)-0 on' many occasions. f- In April 1980, this ptoject was picked up again. Nobody else had submitted any contAibutionsby then, and40 itbecamemuch more o6 a one-min project than I had oniginatty expected.The inadequacits'oti this booklet, thenetione, are att mine. A di66enence)in style and method between the tii,W chapten.and the tiottowing, has' to be understood as a nesuttoti the time elapsed and the learning ptocesS I had gone through.

  • Indigenous Peoples' Rights in International
    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS EMERGENCE AND APPLICATION This diverse collection of essays and articles emerged from a workshop IN INTERNATIONAL LAW held in Oslo in March 2012, hosted by the Norwegian Center for Human Rights and the University of Oslo. The purpose of the workshop was to gather memories of how the international community had decided to exa- mine the situation of Indigenous peoples, to explore, explain and celebrate their pioneering work within the United Nations and the International La- bour Organization. The participants also examined the impact of that work and were further asked to identify desirable future developments. EMERGENCE AND APPLICATION The workshop and now this volume have brought together unique hi- storical and political perspectives of the same events from a variety of dif- ferent viewpoints. Participants were drawn from Indigenous communities, from the United Nations and the ILO, from national governments and from NGOs, all of whom had been involved in these discussions over the years – some since the very beginning. Among the participants in the workshop was Asbjørn Eide, the fou- nding Chairperson of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations (WGIP), and this book is dedicated to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

  • The Indian Revolutionaries. the American Indian Movement in the 1960S and 1970S

The American Indian Movement in the 1960s and 1970s The Red Power movement1 that arose in the 1960s and continued to the late 1970s may be perceived as the second wave of modern pan-Indianism 2. It differed in character from the previous phase of the modern pan-Indian crusade3 in terms of massive support, since the movement, in addition to mobilizing numerous groups of urban Native Americans hailing from different tribal backgrounds, brought about the resurgence of Indian ethnic identity and Indian cultural renewal as well .4 Under its umbrella, there emerged many native organizations devoted to address- ing the still unsolved “Indian question ”. The most important among them were the 1 The Red Power movement was part of a broader struggle against racial discrimination, the so- called Civil Rights Movement that began to crystalize in the early 1950s . Although mostly linked to the African-American fight for civil liberties, the Civil Rights Movement also encompassed other racial and ethnic minorities including Native Americans . See F . E . Hoxie, This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made, New York 2012, pp . 363–380 . 2 It should be noted that there is no precise definition of pan-Indianism among scholars .

  • The Case for a Native American1968 and Its
    Review of International American Studies FEATURES RIAS Vol. 12, Fall–Winter № 2 /2019 ISSN 1991–2773 DOI: 10.31261/rias.7355 THE CASE FOR A NATIVE AMERICAN 1968 AND ITS TRANSNATIONAL LEGACY IntroductIon Partly as a result of compartmentalized academic specializations György Tóth and history teaching, in accounts of the global upheavals of 1968, University of Stirling Native Americans are either not mentioned, or at best are tagged United Kingdom on as an afterthought. “Was there a Native American 1968?” RIAS Associate Editor is the central question this article aims to answer. Native American https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4557-0846 activism in the 1960s was no less flashy, dramatic or confrontational than the protests by the era’s other struggles—it is simply over- shadowed by later actions of the movement. While it is seductive to claim that the Native American 1968 was the establishment of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in that auspicious year in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I would caution against constructing this event as the genesis of the Red Power movement.1 Using approaches from Transnational American Studies and the his- tory of social movements, this article argues that American Indians had a “long 1968” that originated in Native America’s responses to the US government’s Termination policy in the 1950s, and stretched from their ‘training’ period in the 1960s, through their dramatic protests from the late 1960s through the 1970s, all the way to their participation at the United Nations from 1977 through the rest of the Cold War. This intervention in canonized periodization is very much in line with the emerging scholarship 1.

PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) Journal Articles (000) JOURNAL CIT Wm-A) Se Review; v2 n2 p45-49 Fall 1986 EDRS PRICE HF01/PC01 Plus Postage. nESCRIPTORS *Activism; American Indian Culture; American Indian History; American Indians; *American Indian Studies; Case Studies; Cultural Context; *Ethnicity; Ethnic Studien; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Minority Groups; *Perception; *Social Science Research IDENTIFIERS *American Indian Movement; *West Germany ABSTRACT Interest in the American Indian in West Germany is high. Romantic notions, derived from the novels of 19th century German writer Karl May and American westerns shown on German television, combined with a subtle anti-Americanism might be responsible for the American Indian Movement (AIM) support groups that have been forming among students and bringing American Indian issues into tho arena of world affairs. While this enthusiasm for AIM among students has not generally been shared by academicians, recent scholarly interdisciplinary research in American Indian Studies has been conducted by anthropologists associated with the Center for North American Studies (ZENAF) at the University of Frankfurt. The topic of ethnic identity and cultural resistance has produced several case studies on cultural change and has stimulated an evaluation of fiction written by Native Americans in the context of a struggle for ethnic identity. The scholarly evaluation of AIM in the context of the long history of Indian resistance has also begun. Citations for 26 ZENAF publications on American Indian Studies (most written in German) are provided.

    Issue #70 Featuring: TURN I’ll KILL YOU, THE FAR SIDE OF JERICHO, Spaghetti Western Poster Art, Spaghetti Western Film Locations in the U.S.A., Tim Lucas interview, DVD reviews WAI! #70 The Swingin’ Doors Welcome to another on-line edition of Westerns…All’Italiana! kicking off 2008. Several things are happening for the fanzine. We have found a host or I should say two hosts for the zine. Jamie Edwards and his Drive-In Connection are hosting the zine for most of our U.S. readers (www.thedriveinconnection.com) and Sebastian Haselbeck is hosting it at his Spaghetti Westerns Database for the European readers (www.spaghetti- western.net). Our own Kim August is working on a new website (here’s her current blog site http://gunsmudblood.blogspot.com/ ) that will archive all editions of the zine starting with issue #1. This of course will take quite a while to complete with Kim still in college. Thankfully she’s very young as she’ll be working on this project until her retirement 60 years from now. Anyway you can visit these sites and read or download your copy of the fanzine whenever you feel the urge. Several new DVD and CD releases have been issued since the last edition of WAI! and co-editor Lee Broughton has covered the DVDs as always. The CDs will be featured on the last page of each issue so you will be made aware of what is available. We have completed several interviews of interest in recent months. One with author Tim Lucas, who has just recently released his huge volume on Mario Bava, appears in this issue.
