Book Description
A foundational work of radical anticolonialism, back in print Originally published in 1974, The Fourth World is a critical work of Indigenous political activism that has long been out of print. George Manuel, a leader in the North American Indian movement at that time, with coauthor journalist Michael Posluns, presents a rich historical document that traces the struggle for Indigenous survival as a nation, a culture, and a reality. The authors shed light on alternatives for coexistence that would take place in the Fourth World—an alternative to the new world, the old world, and the Third World. Manuel was the first to develop this concept of the “fourth world” to describe the place occupied by Indigenous nations within colonial nation-states. Accompanied by a new Introduction and Afterword, this book is as poignant and provocative today as it was when first published.

Book of the Fourth World
Author: Gordon Brotherston
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521314930
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
The Book of the Fourth World offers detailed analyses of texts that range far back into the centuries of civilised life from what is now Latin- and Anglo-America. At the time of its 'discovery', the American continent was identified as the Fourth World of our planet. In the course of just a few centuries its original inhabitants, though settled there for millennia and countable in many millions, have come to be perceived as a marginal if not entirely dispensable factor in the continent's destiny. Today the term has been taken up again by its native peoples, to describe their own world: both its threatened present condition, and its political history, which stretches back thousands of years before Columbus. In order to explore the literature of this world, Brotherston uses primary sources that have traditionally been ignored because they have not conformed to Western definitions of oral and written literature, such as the scrolls of the Algonkin, the knotted strings (Quipus) of the Inca, Navajo dry-paintings and the encyclopedic pages of Meso-America's screenfold books.

Book Description
“A very good book…another side of the wired world of tomorrow.” —Orlando Sentinel Much of the world has enthusiastically embraced the "virtual life," rejecting the cruel realities outside the big lies and shared web fantasies they plug themselves into twenty-four hours a day. American Santee St. John, however, has experienced real, government-imposed horrors in the troubled Mexican state of Chiapas. And along with Margaret Mayfield—his lover and kindred spirit—he has dedicated his life to the rebel cause. Then Santee vanishes into the lush and dangerous wilds of Central America. Though his enemies say Santee St. John is dead, Margaret is determined to find him. But on a planet going rapidly to Hell, the fate of one man of conscience may prove insignificant—as Margaret's search sets her on a dark highway the corrupt and powerful are constructing in secret, a road to total ruin that winds from the opulent First World through the destitute Third...and all the way to Mars. From the acclaimed author of CIRCUIT OF HEAVEN comes a stunning novel that blends cutting-edge technology with razor-sharp insight into human nature as it propels us across the digital badlands of the twenty-first century. "A very effective novel... [that] bristles with political passion."—Denver Post "One of those rare SF novels that combines human warmth and political insight in an unflinching look at the possible price of technology."—Booklist
