{"product_id":"mohawk-interruptus-audra-simpson-9780822356554","title":"Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States","description":"\u003ci\u003eMohawk Interruptus\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold challenge to dominant thinking in the fields of Native studies and anthropology. Combining political theory with ethnographic research among the Mohawks of Kahnaw  ke, a reserve community in what is now southwestern Quebec, Audra Simpson examines their struggles to articulate and maintain political sovereignty through centuries of settler colonialism. The Kahnaw  ke Mohawks are part of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. Like many Iroquois peoples, they insist on the integrity of Haudenosaunee governance and refuse American or Canadian citizenship. Audra Simpson thinks through this politics of refusal, which stands in stark contrast to the politics of cultural recognition. Tracing the implications of refusal, Simpson argues that one sovereign political order can exist nested within a sovereign state, albeit with enormous tension around issues of jurisdiction and legitimacy. Finally, Simpson critiques anthropologists and political scientists, whom, she argues, have too readily accepted the assumption that the colonial project is complete. Belying that notion, \u003ci\u003eMohawk Interruptus\u003c\/i\u003e calls for and demonstrates more robust and evenhanded forms of inquiry into indigenous politics in the teeth of settler governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Audra Simpson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822356554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822356554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.38w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 686","brand":"Audra Simpson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045840744703,"sku":"9780822356554","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38874bae-4b9d-48ca-a731-fbf4c2704609.jpg?v=1684981080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mohawk-interruptus-audra-simpson-9780822356554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
