NEW WORLD OF INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE

Noam Chomsky and Voices from North, South, and Central America Lois Meyer and Benjamin Maldonado Alvarado, eds.

Indigenous societies today face difficult choices: can they develop and modernize without endangering their sacred traditions and communal identities? Can they benefit from national education without undermining cultural sovereignty and language? These issues are explored in depth in this series of dialogues between Chomsky and numerous organizers and intellectuals from indigenous communities of resistance. Deeply considered personal philosophies and experiences on both sides of the conversations make for engrossing and informative reading.
