The Power of the Talking Stick ─ Indigenous Politics and the World Ecological Crisis

This book describes how the global economic structure is despoiling the planet and how leaders can fight corporate-led globalization and choose a new vision of the 'good life.' Authors Ridgeway (political science, University of Louisiana) and Jacques (political science, University of Central Florida) deconstruct the role of international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the IMF, and explain the impact of neoliberal policies on the ability of indigenous peoples to feed themselves. They give ideas on how to join forces with those in the Third World to resist corporate takeover. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
