  • af Michael Steven Wilson
    307,95 kr.

    Renowned human rights activist Michael "Mike" Wilson has borne witness to the profound human costs of poverty, racism, border policing, and the legacies of colonialism. From a childhood in the mining town of Ajo, Arizona, Wilson's life journey led him to US military service in Central America, seminary education, and religious and human rights activism against the abuses of US immigration policies. With increased militarization of the US-Mexico border, migration across the Tohono O'odham Nation surged, as did migrant deaths and violent encounters between tribal citizens and US Border Patrol agents. When Wilson's religious and ethical commitments led him to set up water stations for migrants on the Nation's lands, it brought him into conflict not only with the US government but also with his own tribal and religious communities.This richly textured and collaboratively written memoir brings Wilson's experiences to life. Joining Wilson as coauthor, Jose Antonio Lucero adds political and historical context to Wilson's personal narrative. Together they offer a highly original portrait of an O'odham life across borders that sheds light on the struggles and resilience of Native peoples across the Americas.

    af Juliana Hu Pegues
    397,95 - 1.287,95 kr.

    af Shannon Speed

    Indigenous women migrants from Central America and Mexico face harrowing experiences of violence before, during, and after their migration to the US, like all asylum seekers.

  • - The Politics of Hawaiian Performance
    af Stephanie Nohelani Teves
    397,95 - 1.387,95 kr.

    "Aloha" is at once the most significant and the most misunderstood word in the Indigenous Hawaiian lexicon.

    af Douglas K. Miller
    357,95 - 1.085,95 kr.

    In 1972, the Bureau of Indian Affairs terminated its twenty-year-old Voluntary Relocation Program. At the time the program ended, many groups had already classified it as a failure. Douglas Miller here argues that a richer story should be told - one that recognises Indigenous mobility in terms of its benefits and not merely its costs.
