Native Cultural Competency in Mainstream Schooling: "Outsider" Teachers with Insider Knowledge
by Sharon Vegh Williams Joni M. ColeThis book provides an in-depth analysis of Native American educational issues in the Northeast and highlights teacher training and instruction that address the experience and needs of the many Native students that attend reservation border town schools. Williams and Cole expand upon the results of a participatory action study that explored the barriers to success for Native American students in mainstream schooling during the process of creating and implementing a Native cultural competency teacher-training program for classroom teachers. They document the evolution of cross-cultural relationships and interactions in a diverse schooling context and aim to usher in concrete changes in school experiences and educational outcomes for Native American students by fostering non-Native teachers’ growth in cultural competency.
Native Languages of the Americas: Volume 1
by Thomas SebeokThirteen of the chapters that comprise the contents of this first volume of Native Languages of the A mericas were originally commissioned by the undersigned in his capacity as Editor of the fourteen volume series (1963-1976), Current Trends in Linguistics. All appeared, in 1973, under Part Three of the quadripartite Vol. 10, subtitled Linguistics in North America. Two additional chaplers are being held over for the volume to follow shortly, devoted to Central and South American lan guages and linguistics, where they more appropriately belong. A fourteenth chapter, on the" Historiography of native North A merican linguistics," was written similarly by invitation, for Vol. 13, subtitled Historiography of Linguistics, published in 1975. Both Volumes 10 and 13 were jointly financed by the United States National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities, with an enhancing contribution to the former by the Canada Council. The generosity of these funding agencies was, of course, previously acknowledged in my respective Editor's Introductions to the two books mentioned, but cannot be repeated too often: without their welcome and timely assistance, the global project could scarcely have been realized on so comprehensive a scale. The Current Trends in Linguistics series was a long-term venture of Mouton Publishers, of The Hague, under the imaginative in-house direction of Peter de Rid der. Various spin-offs were foreseen, and some of them happily realized.
The Native Leisure Class: Consumption and Cultural Creativity in the Andes
by Rudi Colloredo-MansfeldIn the Andean city of Otavalo, Ecuador, a cultural renaissance is now taking place against a backdrop of fading farming traditions, transnational migration, and an influx of new consumer goods. Recently, Otavalenos have transformed their textile trade into a prosperous tourist industry, exporting colorful weavings around the world. Tracing the connections among newly invented craft traditions, social networks, and consumption patterns, Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld highlights the way ethnic identities and class cultures materialize in a sensual world that includes luxurious woven belts, powerful stereos, and garlic roasted cuyes (guinea pigs). Yet this case reaches beyond the Andes. He shows how local and global interactions intensify the cultural expression of the world's emerging "native middle classes," at times leaving behind those unable to afford the new trappings of indigenous identity. Colloredo-Mansfeld also comments on his experiences working as an artist in Otavalo. His drawings, along with numerous photographs, animate this engaging study in economic anthropology.
Native on the Net: Indigenous and Diasporic Peoples in the Virtual Age
by Kyra LandzeliusExploring the influence of the Internet on the lives of indigenous and diasporic peoples, Kyra Landzelius leads a team of expert anthropologists and ethnographers who go on-site and on-line to explore how a diverse range of indigenous and transnational diasporic communities actually use the Internet. From the Taino Indians of the Caribbean, the U’wa of the Amazon rainforest, and the Tunomans and Assyrians of Iraq, to the Tingas and Zapatistas, Native on the Net is a lively and intriguing exploration of how new technologies have enabled these previously isolated peoples to reach new levels of communication and community: creating new communities online, confronting global corporations, or even challenging their own native traditions. Featuring case studies ranging from the Artic to the Australian outback, this book addresses important recurrent themes, such as the relationship between identity and place, community, traditional cultures and the nature of the ‘indigenous’. Native on the Net is a unique contribution to our knowledge of the impact of new global communication technologies on those who have traditionally been geographically, politically and economically marginalised.

Native Pathways: American Indian Culture and Economic Development in the Twentieth Century
by Brian Hosmer Colleen O'NeillHow has American Indians' participation in the broader market - as managers of casinos, negotiators of oil leases, or commercial fishermen - challenged the U.S. paradigm of economic development? Have American Indians paid a cultural price for the chance at a paycheck? How have gender and race shaped their experiences in the marketplace? Contributors to Native Pathways ponder these and other questions, highlighting how indigenous peoples have simultaneously adopted capitalist strategies and altered them to suit their own distinct cultural beliefs and practices. Including contributions from historians, anthropologists, and sociologists, Native Pathways offers fresh viewpoints on economic change and cultural identity in twentieth-century Native American communities. Foreword by Donald L. Fixico.

Natives, Iberians, and Imperial Loyalties in the South American Borderlands, 1750–1800
by Francismar Alex Lopes de CarvalhoThis book examines the efforts of Spaniards and Portuguese to attract Native peoples and other settlers to the villages, missions, and fortifications they installed in a disputed area between present-day Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The first part examines how autonomous Native peoples and those who lived in the Jesuit missions responded to the Indigenous policies the Iberian crowns initiated following the 1768 expulsion of the Society of Jesus. The second part examines military recruitment and supply circuits, showing how the political centers’ strategy of transferring part of the costs and delegating responsibilities to local sectors shaped interactions between officers, soldiers, Natives, and other inhabitants. Moving beyond national approaches, the book shows how both Iberian empires influenced each other and the lives of the diverse peoples who inhabited the border regions.
The Natives of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast: Their Customs, Religion and Folklore (Routledge Revivals)
by A. W. CardinallFirst published in 1920, Natives of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast is a study of the ethnological attributes of a West African tribe. It was meant as a record of personal observations for European merchants, soldiers or officials who wanted to explore and colonize West Africa. While a meticulous anthropologist, the author does not claim to understand the reasons behind the practices of indigenous people. For the modern reader, the overt racism might be unsettling but it is also evidence of the perceptions that propelled the white man’s research. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this republication. This book will be of interest to students of history, anthropology, and ethnic studies.

NATO AND TERRORISM Catastrophic Terrorism and First Responders: Threats and Mitigation (Nato Security through Science Series B: #Vol. 2)
by Friedrich Steinhäusler Frances EdwardsSeptember 11, 2001 in the U.S., March 11, 2004 in Madrid – just two examples of a series of major terror attacks against NATO member states on both sides of the Atlantic. We now know that international terrorism is capable of transboundary planning and military style execution of attacks, resulting in several thousand dead and wounded. In the future even larger terror attacks can no longer be ruled out, including the deployment of weapons of mass destruction. This new form of catastrophic terrorism poses a major challenge to the first responder community in their search and rescue operations, since these new threats represent an unprecedented risk for their health, possibly even questioning their own survival. Since the first responders are the first line of defence of every community in the aftermath of such a terror attack, it is essential for every community to ensure that its first responders are able to provide their valuable services even in such extreme situations. In this important new book a group of experts represents the current knowledge on the various terrorism threats to first responders resulting from the novel use of conventional weapons, as well radiological, nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Also, the current situation in selected countries of different sizes and practical experience with terrorism countermeasures (Austria, Israel, Slovenia, Russia, U.S.) is reviewed, focusing on the national operational logistics and the individual needs for improving the present situation. Finally, this book offers innovative solutions to strengthen the level of protection of the first responders, culminating in fifty-one practically applicable recommendations.
NATO, Gender and the Military: Women Organising from Within (Routledge Studies in Gender and Security)
by Katharine A.M. Wright Matthew Hurley Jesus Ignacio Gil RuizThis book examines NATO's engagement with gender issues through its military structures. Drawing on newly declassified NATO documents, this volume provides the first comprehensive account of NATO’s long-established engagement with gender issues. These documents bring to the fore the stories of the NATO women and ‘gendermen’ who have organised within NATO across the decades to advocate on gender issues and highlights the continued challenges to pursuing transformative agendas within resistant institutions. The book argues that NATO is an institution of international hegemonic masculinity, with gender norms and values learned by member and partner states through socialisation and the engagement of a masculinist protection logic. It therefore provides an important context for NATO’s recent implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda encapsulated in UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the seven follow-up resolutions. The volume interrogates how Women, Peace and Security has mapped on to NATO’s pre-existing concerns as a global security actor, providing impetus for further critical knowledge building of NATO which centres on gender. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of NATO, Critical Military Studies, Gender Studies, Critical Security Studies and IR in general.

NATO in the First Decade after the Cold War
by Martin A. SmithThis book offers an original and distinct analysis of NATO's post-Cold War evolution. Unlike so much of the available literature, it is not focused on what in the author's opinion NATO should be doing now that the Cold War is over. Rather, the author offers a comprehensive analysis and overview of the extent to which NATO can undertake new roles, tasks and missions in light of the extent to which it has retained significance and vitality as an international institution. The book's originality also lies in the way in which the author discusses NATO's adaptation within a framework provided by international relations theory, and in particular concepts which stress the role and importance of transnational political processes and international regimes. So far these have been little used in the analysis of military security relations and institutions. The book will be of interest to those researching and teaching international relations, European politics and security studies, as well as all those seeking a better understanding of the post-Cold War survival and development of a key international security institution.
NATO's Peace Enforcement Tasks and Policy Communities
by Giovanna BonoThis book was published in 2003.How has NATO managed to survive and transform itself into a peace-enforcement organization? Challenging the dominant assumption that NATO intervened in the Balkans because of the threat that conflicts in the region posed to European security, this book develops a new set of research questions based on the hypothesis of the existence of "policy communities". The author demonstrates that there were shifting policy communities in operations that shaped the Alliance's transformation process, arguing that NATO would not have succeeded in assuming peace-enforcement tasks without other factors - ranging from organisational dynamics, domestic politics and the impact of ad hoc reactions to external events - coming into play. Highlighting the role of NATO as an actor in international security, this volume is aimed at academics and practitioners in the field of international relations

„Natur“: soziologische Konzepte politische Konsequenzen (Soziologie und Ökologie #9)
by Cordula KroppWelchen Beitrag kann die Soziologie für die Behandlung der ökologischen Frage leisten? Sie setzt das Verhältnis von Gesellschaft in die jeweiligen historischen und kulturellen Zusammenhänge, sie entschleiert - stets selbst perspektivisch - vermeintliche Natur- und Sachzwänge und sensibilisiert damit für die politische Gestaltbarkeit gesellschaftlicher Naturverhältnisse. Cordula Kropp vergleicht systematisch verschiedene Perspektiven auf "Natur" - naturalistische, soziozentrische und insbesondere jüngere, "vermittlungstheoretische" Herangehensweisen. Aus der kritischen Zusammenschau entwickelt sie einen Beitrag für eine "Soziologie der Natur", in dessen Rahmen "Natur" zugleich imaginiert und real, historisch und politisch gedacht wird. Dabei wird deutlich, daß die große Herausforderung moderner Gesellschaften in der Anerkennung der gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen ihrer mehr oder weniger bewussten, letztlich politischen Entscheidungen für diese oder jene "Natur" liegt. Deshalb erkundet die Arbeit nicht zuletzt das Verhältnis von Natur und Politik, von Wissenschaft und Demokratie. "Jede oder Jeder, die oder der nachvollziehen will, warum die internationale Ökologie- und Technologie-Debatte in den Sozialwissenschaften so aufregend ist und worum sie sich dreht, kann sich in diesem Buch das nötige Rüstzeug aneignen" (Ulrich Beck im Vorwort).
Natur als Grundlage und Ziel der Wirtschaft: Grundzüge einer Ökonomie der Reproduktion
by Hans Immler Sabine HofmeisterNatur ist Produktivität und Produkt. Von ihr geht alles wirtschaftliche Handeln aus, und zu ihr führt alles zurück. Wer von Wirtschaft etwas verstehen will, muß zuerst von der Natur und ihrer Produktivität etwas verstehen. Dies ist die These, von der die Autoren die Grundzüge einer Ökonomie der Nachhaltigkeit ableiten. Auf dem Weg in eine zukunftsfähige Wirtschaftsweise wird es nicht allein darum gehen, die Grenzen der Natur zu verstehen und zu achten. Es gilt vielmehr, die produktiven Fähigkeiten der Natur als Grundlage und Zweck wirtschaftlicher Handlungen zu erkennen und anzuerkennen. Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften ist somit eine Gestaltungsaufgabe - die Aufgabe, menschliche und nichtmenschliche Natur durch wirtschaftliche Handlungen für die Zukunft zu erhalten und zu gestalten. Im Zentrum des Buches steht der Reproduktionsring, in dem sich die Ökonomie in der Einheit von Herstellung, Verbrauch und Wiederherstellung zu entfalten vermag. Diese Überlegungen liefern die theoretischen Grundlagen für die Praxis nachhaltigen Wirtschaftens.

Natur in der ökonomischen Theorie: Teil 1: Vorklassik — Klassik — Marx, Teil 2: Naturherrschaft als ökonomische Theorie — Die Physiokraten
by Hans ImmlerDer Philosoph Ernst Bloch deutet am Ende seines berühmten Buches DasPrin zip Hoffnung auf einen noch nicht begangenen Weg menschlicher Geschichte hin: Morgenland Natur. Der Gedanke, daß die Versöhnung von Mensch und Natur das Ziel aller Geschichte sein könnte, erscheint so vertrauenserweckend wie verführerisch. "Morgenland Natur" ist ein Versprechen auf elementare Geborgenheit des menschlichen Lebens und zugleich kraftvolle Perspektive für die Zukunft. Es wird vorsichtig geäußert, daß der Tag möglicher Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Natur noch gar nicht angebrochen, geschweige denn schon zu Ende gegan gen ist. Natur stellt nicht Bedingung des Lebens, sondern seinen Sinn dar. Sie kann nicht überwunden, sondern muß hergestellt werden. Die Ubereinstim mung von Mensch und Natur wird zum Produkt geschichtlicher Tätigkeit. Die Natur wird zum Erzeugnis menschlicher Arbeit. "Morgenland Natur" enthält aber auch eine Illusion. Man wacht eines Morgens auf und betritt einen blühenden und mit Früchten gefüllten Garten. Dieser Wunsch paßt so recht in eine Zeit, in der verbrannte Erde eher zur Realität gehört. Daher bleiben viele Fragen offen. Wenn Natur als Zukunft der Menschen gesehen wird, befindet man sich überhaupt auf dem richtigen Weg? Wenn nicht, welches sind die Ursachen und Folgen des Irrwegs? Vor allem aber, was ist zu tun, um die richtige Fährte wieder zu finden? "Morgenland Natur" scheint zu sehr in die Ferne gerückt, als daß es schon bald menschliche Praxis werden könnte. Zuviel Geröll versperrt den Weg.
