{"product_id":"ideologies-of-race-david-rainbow-9780773558984","title":"Ideologies of Race: Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union in Global Context","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the last thirty years Canadian policy on aboriginal issues has come to be dominated by an ideology that sees aboriginal peoples as \"nations\" entitled to specific rights. Indians and Inuit now enjoy legal privileges that include the inherent right to self-government, collective property rights, immunity from taxation, hunting and fishing rights without legal limits, and free housing, education, and medical care. Underpinning these privileges is what Tom Flanagan describes as \"aboriginal orthodoxy\" - the belief that prior residence in North America is an entitlement to special treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFlanagan shows that this orthodoxy enriches a small elite of activists, politicians, administrators, and well-connected entrepreneurs, while bringing further misery to the very people it is supposed to help. Controversial and thought-provoking, First Nations? Second Thoughts dissects the prevailing ideology that determines public policy towards Canada's aboriginal peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFlanagan analyzes the developments of the last ten years, showing how a conflict of visions has led to a stalemate in aboriginal policy-making. He concludes that aboriginal success will be achieved not as the result of public policy changes in government but through the actions of the people themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Rainbow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773558985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773558984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"David Rainbow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082562543871,"sku":"9780773558984","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ideologies-of-race-david-rainbow-9780773558984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
