Ward Churchill

    Ward Churchill, un universitaire-militant et analyste des questions autochtones, s'est taillé une réputation sans précédent pour son approche distinctive dans l'examen du statut des peuples autochtones en Amérique. Son travail plonge profondément dans l'exploitation et la résistance historiques et contemporaines, employant souvent une lentille critique sur les récits dominants. Le style de Churchill est reconnu pour son urgence et sa puissance persuasive alors qu'il cherche à exposer des structures de pouvoir complexes et leur impact sur les communautés autochtones. Son écriture met les lecteurs au défi de considérer la justice et les droits, laissant une impression durable sur ceux qui s'engagent dans les affaires autochtones.

      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.
