For aboriginal peoples around the world, the consequences of European colonization were tragically similar. Indeed, according to the authors of this comparative study, striking parallels remain evident today between the aboriginal peoples of Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. Not only do they occupy similar positions in their respective societies, but they share a common commitment to restoring their unique status as 'nations within' those societies and to obtaining the entitlements-including the right to self-determination-that derive from formal recognition of that status. To achieve these goals, a massive restructuring of relations between aboriginal peoples and the state is clearly required. The Nations Within analyses the roles played by both parties in this relationship, past and present, with a particular focus on Canada.

Industry Reviews

"An important study, this book uses a comparative framework to analyze contemporary relationships between indigenous societies and the dominant governments in Canada, New Zealand, and the US....Strongly recommended for general readers and for advanced undergraduate courses dealing with race relations."--Choice
