Instead, Aboriginal identity is framed in terms of cultural and national traits, while self-government is taken to represent an Aboriginal desire to protect those traits. Shifting Boundaries challenges this view, arguing that it fosters a woefully incomplete understanding of the politics of self-government. Taking the position that a relational theory of pluralism offers a more accurate interpretation, Tim Schouls contends that self-government is better understood when an "identification" perspective on Aboriginal identity is adopted instead of a "cultural" or "national" one. He shows that self-government is not about preserving cultural and national differences as goods in and of themselves, but rather is about equalizing current imbalances in power to allow Aboriginal peoples to construct their own identities. In focusing on relational pluralism, Shifting Boundaries adds an important perspective to existing theoretical approaches to Aboriginal self-government. It will appeal to academics, students, and policy analysts interested in Aboriginal governance, cultural studies, political theory, nationalism studies, and constitutional theory. 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xPolitics and government 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zCanada$xPolitics and government 606 $aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xEthnic identity 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zCanada$xEthnic identity 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aAutochtones$zCanada$xPolitique et gouvernement 606 $aAutochtones$xDroit$zCanada 606 $aAutochtones$zCanada$xRelations avec l'Etat 606 $aAutochtones$zCanada$xIdentite ethnique 606 $aPluralisme 615 0$aIndians of North America$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 6$aAutochtones$xPolitique et gouvernement. 615 6$aAutochtones$xDroit 615 6$aAutochtones$xRelations avec l'Etat. 615 6$aAutochtones$xIdentite ethnique. 615 6$aPluralisme. 676 $a323.1/197071 700 $aSchouls$b Timothy A$01629586 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810056603321 996 $aShifting boundaries$93967409 997 $aUNINA
