Ward Churchill has achieved an unparalleled reputation as a scholar-activist and analyst of indigenous issues in North America. Here, he explores the history of holocaust and denial in this hemisphere, beginning with the arrival of Columbus and continuing on into the present. He frames the matter by examining both "revisionist" denial of the nazi-perpatrated Holocaust and the opposing claim of its exclusive "uniqueness," using the full scope of what happened in Europe as a backdrop against which to demonstrate that genocide is precisely what has been-and still is-carried out against the American Indians. Churchill lays bare the means by which many of these realities have remained hidden, how...
"Most of my artistic life has been spent solving technical problems involved in a very mechanical hardedge abstraction. However, in the past year I've set out to apply the things I've learned to my own heritage through a sort of stereotypical portraiture of Native American people. The work I'm doing is intended both as a parody of white culture's mythology and as an indication of my broadest respect for those within the images"--Page [2].
Argues that while the ideology of nonviolent political action promises that the harsh realities of state power can be transcended through good feelings and purity of purpose, it is in fact a counter-revolutionary movement that defends and reinforces the same status-quo it claims to oppose. Churchill debunks the claims of historical pacifist victories, and proposes ways to diminish much of the delusion, aroma of racism, and sense of privilege which mark the covert self-defeatism of mainstream dissident politics. An important intervention, intended to generate badly-needed debate about the issue in the progressive community.
An examination of America's violent legacy and the realities we are ignoring.
For five consecutive generations, from roughly 1880 to 1980, Native American children in the United States and Canada were forcibly taken from their families and relocated to residential schools.
Examines the faulty "reasoning" employed to legislate colonial control over North America's indigenous peoples and their lands.
This hard-hitting collection of twelve interviews and previously unpublished lectures delves deep into the current state of Native North America and expands on the Indigenist political perspective popularized by Professor Ward Churchill. He is now nationally known for his controversial remarks concerning the culpability of the functionaries administering US economic and military policies, and Speaking Truth in the Teeth of Power is the perfect antidote to the smear campaign surrounding On the Justice of Roosting Chickens. The book opens with a lengthy interview conducted by journalist Joshua Frank concerning Churchill's remarks and the back story to the hoopla, which became a national debate...
By the spring of 1940, the phoney war suddenly became very real. In April Hitler's forces, invaded Norway and a month later began their assault on France and the Low Countries. The Anglo/French allies were routed. The British escaped to fight another day after evacuating the bulk of their armies at Dunkirk. When on 10 May Winston Churchill became Prime Minister he soon discovered that the nation's defenses were in a parlous state and a Nazi invasion was a very real possibility. By the end of the month, nearly a million British citizens had joined the Local Defense Volunteers, soon to become the Home Guard, of Dad's Army fame. Churchill, however, realized the Home Guard was initially of littl...
