Sommario/riassunto

This collection of essays is a timely exploration of the progress of Aboriginal rights movements in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.



Contributors compare the situations in Canada and Mexico, in both of which demands by Aboriginal people for political autonomy and sovereignty are increasing, and explore why there is little corresponding activity in the United States. The essays address problems of constructing new political arrangements, practical questions about the viability of multiple governments within one political system, and epistemological questions about recognizing and understanding the "other."
