Indigenous cultures meticulously protect and preserve their
traditions. Those traditions often have deep connections to the
homelands of indigenous peoples, thus forming strong relationships
between culture, land, and communities. Autoethnography can help
shed light on the nature and complexity of these relationships.
Indigenous Research of Land, Self, and Spirit is a collection of
innovative research that focuses on the ties between indigenous
cultures and the constructs of land as self and agency. It also
covers critical intersectional, feminist, and heuristic inquiries
across a variety of indigenous peoples. Highlighting a broad range
of topics including environmental studies, land rights, and
storytelling, this book is ideally designed for policymakers,
academicians, students, and researchers in the fields of sociology,
diversity, anthropology, environmentalism, and history.
The tension between freedom of expression and European personal
data protection regulation is unmistakable. Nowhere is this more
apparent than in its interface with professional journalism and
other traditional publishers including artists, writers and
academics. This book systematically explores how that tension has
been managed across thirty-one European States from the 1970s
through to the 2010s including under the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). It is found that, notwithstanding confusing
laws, data authorities have regulated journalism through contextual
rights balancing. However, they have struggled to establish a clear
standard of strictness or ensure consistent enforcement. Their
stance regarding other publishers has been more confused - whilst
academics have been subject to onerous restrictions developed for
medical and related research, other writers and artists have been
largely ignored. This book suggests that contextual rights
balancing should be extended to all traditional publishers and
systematically developed through robust co-regulation that draws on
the strength of both statutory control and self-regulation.
In A Third Way, Hillary Hoffmann and Monte Mills detail the
history, context, and future of the ongoing legal fight to protect
indigenous cultures. At the federal level, this fight is shaped by
the assumptions that led to current federal cultural protection
laws, which many tribes and their allies are now reframing to
better meet their cultural and sovereign priorities. At the state
level, centuries of antipathy toward tribes are beginning to give
way to collaborative and cooperative efforts that better reflect
indigenous interests. Most critically, tribes themselves are
building laws and legal structures that reflect and invigorate
their own cultural values. Taken together, and evidenced by the
recent worldwide support for indigenous cultural movements, events
of the last decade signal a new era for indigenous cultural
protection. This important work should be read by anyone interested
in the legal reforms that will guide progress toward that future.
