Al Gedicks
Released 2009-07-10
Indigenous peoples are fighting back against multinational resource extraction. In Wisconsin, an Ojibwe tribe waged a twenty-eight-year battle against some of the world’s largest mining corporations to preserve their sacred rice beds from mining pollution—and won. In Nigeria, indigenous women successfully shut down oil production as part of their fight to preserve their subsistence farming and fishing economy. Dirty Gold demonstrates how these movements’ political demands have energized peasant and other non- indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples are working together to assert their sovereignty, using the language of human rights and the political might of transnational solidarity networks to challenge resource colonialism and environmental racism.

Released 2009-08-15
Moving the idea of sovereignty beyond the narrow confines of the nation-state, beyond the concept of a power one either has or lacks, this paradigm-shifting work examines the new ways colonized people resist current forms of domination, placing both their subjugation and their resistance within broader contemporary political contexts. A valuable contribution to this debate around indigenous conceptions of sovereignty, Sovereign Acts goes further, to investigate the relationships between sovereignty, gender, sexuality, representation, and the body.
