Author and social critic Jerry Mander discusses how the cultural concepts of indigenous peoples endure despite globalization, and speculates on the benefits of adapting these ideas to modern life.
-----
In this spirited book, Jerry Mander partners with the celebrated indigenous leader Victoria Tauli-Corpuz to gather powerful firsthand reports on a momentous collision of worldviews that pits the forces of economic globalization against the Earth's indigenous peoples. With many of the planet's remaining natural resources on indigenous lands, traditional practices of biodiversity preservation have, ironically, made these lands targets for global corporations seeking the last forests, genetic and plant materials, oil, and minerals to feed their unsustainable growth. Corporate invaders often employ military force, as well as harsh pressures from the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. But native peoples refuse to be victims; their stories of resistance and growing success are gathered here by twenty-five writers to describe the impacts.
Jerry Mander is founder of the International Forum on Globalization. His books include "In the Absence of the Sacred" and "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" - Cody's Books
How about writing your book and making it available online?
very important wut he says about we NdN peeps responding to the ...pressure of the outside and taking the path of least resistance to that pressure wen possible by releasing our traditional energies into the world by relating to other peepl i.e. rox, treez, animalz etc. even the sun, and we get answerz bak from thoze relativz in various wayz that benifit us. thank you brother Jerry
@sauticml your comment let me confused...coul you explain?
rip jerry mander
Me too. We should make the paper out of hemp though.
@zaitss - no joke intended...that would be rude and disrespectful...not my goal. I heard he had passed on a while back. I HOPE I heard wrong. His perspective is important to hear either way.
@zaitss - Ashe! We are all the products of indigenous peoples and would do well to remember that and move forward living those traditions in whatever new way we will or must.
@zmitregnistegra WE ARE ALL INDIGENOUS (but forgotten a long time ago!)
"WE ARE ALL INDIGENOUS", This phrase is cultural/indigenous appropriation
@@larissasplaylists why? We actually are indigenous when our heart is connected to Mother Earth. That is our real identity as children of Pachamama, not only our race colour or culture!
@zaitss - I meant that Jerry Mander is dead. In my tradition, ritual and grief is necessary to truly empower and Ancestor, to fully send them to the realm of the Ancestors. My statement suggested that he may not have been Ancestralized, as we call it.
another white anthropologist speaking for us and presenting us (indigenous peoples) to academia and the rest of the world.
@sauticml I cannot find any info that Jerry Mander is dead!
Is that a joke? Cos I can't find it funny!
