American Indian Politics and the American Political System

Description

American Indian Politics and the American Political System is probably the most comprehensive text written from a political science viewpoint. It analyzes the structures and functions of indigenous governments (including Alaskan Native communities and Hawaiian Natives) and the distinctive legal and political rights these nations exercise internally. It also examines the fascinating intergovernmental relationship that exists between native nations, the states, and the government. Within the fourth edition, Wilkins and Stark analyze the challenges facing Indigenous nations as they develop new and innovative strategies to defend and demand recognition in their national character and rights. Additionally they seeks to handle issues that continue to plague many countries, such as notions of belonging and citizenship, implementation of governing structures and processes attentive to Indigenous political and legal traditions, and the promotion and enactment of sustainable practices that toughen our interdependence in an increasingly more globalized world.
