The Fourth World Center is developing a new curriculum for use in
undergraduate university courses on Fourth World Studies
(Indigenous Peoples' Politics). The introductory course material
includes a reader of case studies following a thematic progression,
formatted for use in a sixteen-week semester, and accompanied by a
teachers' activities book of dynamic classroom exercises.
Themes include: state-nation interaction, treaties, genocide and
ethnocide, socialist treatment of the national question,
ethnonationalism and secessionism, development and modernization,
and comparative institutions of autonomy. Case studies include:
Canada, Guatemala, Chile, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kurdistan, India,
Indonesia, Tatarstan, Croatia,, and Uganda.
The Fourth World Center will host a free workshop in Denver, CO,
in late May, 1993. The workshop will instruct teachers and other
interested people in both content and process issues connected to
the Indigenous Politics curriculum.
