Pachakutik! The Ecuadorian indigenous identity: decolonizing social and political Andean society
No full textThroughout nearly 500 years, the Andean highlands were dominated by three different Empires. Tahuantinsuyo, home of the Incan dynasty, was among the most organized and was able to expand its empire from as far south as the end of the Argentinean Andes to Southern Colombia. It was built upon different networks that helped sustain the Empire. Incan scholars that were able to document their history, such as Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, offspring of noble Incan and Conquistador origin, were able to provide his depiction of the ‘peaceful’ transfers of power between the Incan Empire and former nations.
The subjugation of the Ecuadorian highland indigenous peoples initially began with the first Spanish colonization that inflicted a series of social and political shifts within society. The Viceroyalty of Peru thoroughly looked at a series of different adaptations to indigenous peoples, primarily from the Ecuadorian highlands, through various periods of epidemics that would decimate native populations, often eliminating entire villages. As the 19th century began.
Indigenous people were regarded as the “backward, miserable and disposable” race throughout much of the 19th century; with Ecuadorian conservative and liberal governments unraveling a series of economic and international disputes, the indigenous class was left to fend their lives in the hacienda system that remained from the Spanish colonization and utilized by the agricultural and Catholic elites to dominate their horrible and sadistic regulations amongst the Indian farmers.
The new Ecuadorian republic required all citizens to have ‘basic’ prerequisites in order to be considered for citizenship, as Indians were still deemed to be of the ‘other’ within the societal system, let alone ever to influence a white-dominated Ecuadorian political system. Why study the Ecuadorian highlands? Because it is filled with people with an untold story, it is a reason to continue the decolonization efforts to bring the history that has not been told. Today, indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian highlands continue to be oppressed but also continue to fight for their freedom, the very freedom their great-grandmothers had hoped for in their country.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
Jack G. Shaheen 1935–2017
No full textPioneering author and media critic, Dr. Jack Shaheen devoted his life to identifying and contesting damaging stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims in American media and pop culture. Arabs and Muslims were offered up as cartoon caricatures—dagger wielding, evil, ridiculous, hypersexualized, inhumane and incompetent “others.” Dr. Shaheen quickly recognized their shared genealogy to the portrayals of other racialized groups including Jews, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and African Americans. Always in the spirit of engaged dialogue, he was outspoken in defense of any group that was wrongfully stereotyped and vilified.</jats:p
Manifest deception: interpreting Lenape land concessions: an analysis of the European colonialization and systemic erasure of the Indigenous people of New Jersey and surrounding areas
No full textSeumas MacManus once said in his Story of the Irish Race, “They are going! They are going! The Irish are going with a vengeance. Soon, a Celt will be as rare in Ireland as a Red Indian on the shores of Manhattan.” These words of the commoner colonizer between myself and the Ramapough Lenape people reveal a standard methodology for settlement that, through the forced removal and assimilation, has threatened an increasingly endangered people. Indigenous sovereignty in terms of land reclamation has recently become prevalent within the American landscape. Whether it is for federal recognition or resolving land concession during the colonial period, recent attention has been rightfully given to the way in which America was settled. Despite this, there is limited documented material that definitively proves the theft committed in the early colonies that paved the way for westward expansion. No greater atrocities were committed than those against the Lenape people of the Hudson and Delaware River Valleys. The land concessions made through trade, massacre, disease, and acculturation remain hidden over the dense legal verbiage of colonial land deeds and treaties. Although Indigenous oral tradition outlines the history of this extirpation, the Western legal instruments that lie in our nation’s repositories dominate the mythology of legal land transactions. By analyzing these documents and uncovering firsthand accounts of those whose narratives have been silenced, I hope to illuminate the injustice that lies behind the written word. Further insights hide in plain sight from the oral traditions of the Indigenous population, who have meticulously passed their stories on from generation to generation. No matter how extreme the differences might appear, the combination of colonial and Indigenous perspectives unveils a truth that the acceptance of the historical record has buried. The research that culminated in these pages reveals the deception that lies in both legal documents and the memory of the colonizer. Before the arrival of the Europeans, there was harmony between man and nature. This fragile existence was nourished by the cultures of the Indigenous populations and, like these people, such as the Lenape, can never be replaced.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
Calakmul and Cremona: marriage alliances, war and disaster in historically-independent civilizations
No full textIn this thesis, I explore the similarities between medieval Italian city-states and the Mayan city-states. These two civilizations have no historical connections at all and yet they have many similarities in terms of their political culture. This thesis explores those similarities and also tries to understand why the Mayans and medieval Italians were so similar.The central conclusion is that human nature plus writing creates an impulse for politics that is cross-civilizational and cross-cultural. This leads in many cases to the building of city-states and a focus on the themes of Love (political marriage alliances), Trade, and War. Also, the political regimes that develop in these kinds of city-states are remarkably similar considering the total historical disconnect between the cultures involved.
The general approach and theory behind this thesis is Aristotelian in nature. The idea is that politics is a natural phenomenon waiting to express itself in certain forms, unleashed in large part by writing. Theoretical conceptions of republicanism, human nature, and the city-state are essential elements of this thesis.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
