Creating Hope: Working for justice in catastrophic times by Yarrow Goodley Pdf
In the 2022 James Backhouse Lecture, Yarrow Goodley looks at the critical issue of climate justice—at how our responses to the climate emergency have the potential for great suffering, as well as great redemption. In a world where the rich pollute, and the poor suffer, we do not just need to address our rapidly-warming planet, but also the injustices which drive this environmental catastrophe. In conversation with Quaker and non-Quaker activists, Yarrow explores the history of this crisis, and the despair and hope we must negotiate in coming to grips with a problem of planetary proportions. This crisis offers us an unparalleled opportunity to remake our political, economic and social systems, in ways that support a liveable planet, while addressing the profound injustices of our age, especially racial inequality. Yarrow asks us ‘What can we do?’ and seeks to offer ways forward that create hope not just for all people, but for all the living creatures on our small bluegreen planet.
For over twenty years, Fiona has participated in facilitating the Meeting for Learning (a year-long program for spiritual nurture, designed to explore Spirit and Quaker ways), and lives with her partner in a small intentional community that has been a place of spiritual nurture and learning. She has worked as a social worker for many years and now as a university teacher, particularly in fostering critical reflection and spirituality for social workers and critical spirituality for pastoral care workers. A continuing challenge in her spiritual life has been how to integrate her spiritual being in all of these aspects of her life.In the 2010 Lecture, Fiona asks Why seek to live life in union with Spirit? Such a life, in my experience and that of many others, is a fuller, richer, meaning filled and deeper life, connected to that which is eternal. It means moving from what is often called the divided life, beyond opposing forces to a place of wholeness, to integrating all of who we are in all that we do. To do this means holding together these opposites.
Recognition Versus Self-Determination by Associate Professor of Political Science Avigail Eisenberg,Avigail Eisenberg,Jeremy H. A. Webber,Andrée Boisselle,Glen Coulthard Pdf
The political concept of recognition has introduced new ways of thinking about the relationship between minorities and justice in plural societies. But is a politics informed by recognition valuable to minorities today? Contributors to this volume examine the successes and failures of struggles for recognition and self-determination in relation to claims of religious groups, cultural minorities, and indigenous peoples on territories associated with Canada, the United States, Europe, Latin America, India, New Zealand, and Australia. They point to a distinctive set of challenges posed by a politics of recognition and self-determination to peoples seeking emancipation from unjust relations.
"Recognition of, and respect for the rights and freedoms of indigenous peoples is an important subject that has received growing attention from the international community especially during the last 25 years." "Erica-Irene Daes, the author of this book has been at the heart of the international discussion on indigenous peoples' rights. This book is her personal record of more than twenty years of efforts to promote the cause of indigenous peoples and the recognition of their fundamental rights by the United Nations. Through this account of her own experience, the author commemorates the suffering, oppression and discrimination experienced by indigenous peoples, and outlines their continuing struggle for freedom and for cultural, and physical survival. The book is also about her discovery of indigenous knowledge, heritage and culture, through her close relationships with many indigenous nations such as the Sami people of Europe; the Cree of Quebec (Eeyou Istchee); the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the peoples of the Torres Start Islands; the Maya of Mexico and Guatemala; and the Ainu of Japan."--BOOK JACKET.
Bill came into the world April 14, 1927. Denied Indian Status because his Kutenai mother married a non-native man, Bill's experiences of discrimination and displacement were many, varied, confusing, dangerous, and - ultimately - unending. His determination for freedom appeared at age eighteen, when freedom was abruptly taken away from him. When found criminally guilty of vagrancy (visibly being an Indian in an alley at night), he was sentenced to six months in prison. After breaking out of Oakalla, and then Vancouver City Jail, he was sentenced to two years in BC Penitentiary for the crime of escaping.Endowed with a matrilineal gift for self-reliance, autonomy, and confidence that justice must eventually prevail, Bill got to work and went on to make a life and a family. Life and family was often entwined with the struggle for freedom and self-determination engaged by many Aboriginal people in Canada.He worked with the BC Association of Non-Status Indians and helped transform it into the United Native Nations. As UNNPresident, he was involved in the Constitutional process to enshrine Aboriginal self-government. He co-founded Vancouver Native Housing; made diplomatic missions across Canada; spoke out for the Ts'peten Defenders in 1995; joined the Aboriginal Healing Foundation; and served the public-at-large by broadcasting the plight of Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination on Vancouver Co-op Radio. At the age of 90 he has never been more convinced of the importance and inevitability of the original nations' liberation. The book includes news clippings and images of documents from 1927-2007, as well as excerpts from key historical texts as appendices.
Making the Declaration Work by Claire Charters,Rodolfo Stavenhagen Pdf
"The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a culmination of a centuries-long struggle by indigenous peoples for justice. It is an important new addition to UN human rights instruments in that it promotes equality for the world's indigenous peoples and recognizes their collective rights."--Back cover.
In this theory-rich study, Shelby Johnson analyzes the works of Black and Indigenous writers in the Atlantic World, examining how their literary production informs "modes of being" that confronted violent colonial times. Johnson particularly assesses how these authors connected to places—whether real or imagined—and how those connections enabled them to make worlds in spite of the violence of slavery and settler colonialism. Johnson engages with works written in a period engulfed by the extraordinary political and social upheavals of the Age of Revolution and Indian Removal, and these texts—which include not only sermons, life writing, and periodicals but also descriptions of embodied and oral knowledge, as well as material objects—register defiance to land removal and other forms of violence. In studying writers of color during this era, Johnson probes the histories of their lived environment and of the earth itself—its limits, its finite resources, and its metaphoric mortality—in a way that offers new insights on what it means to imagine sustainable connections to the ground on which we walk.
