In Defense of Sovereignty recounts the history of the Oneida Nation
and its struggles for self-determination. Since the nation's
removal from New York in the 1820s to what would become the state
of Wisconsin, it has been engaged in legal conflicts with US actors
to retain its sovereignty and its lands. Legal scholar and former
Oneida Nation senior staff attorney Rebecca M. Webster traces this
history, including the nation's treaties with the US but focusing
especially on its relationship with the village of Hobart,
Wisconsin. Since 2003 there have been six disputes that have led to
litigation between the local government and the nation. Central to
these disputes are the local government's attempts to regulate the
nation and relegate its government to the position of a common
landowner, subject to municipal authority. As in so many conflicts
between Indigenous nations and local municipalities, the media
narrative about the Oneida Nation's battle for sovereignty has been
dominated by the local government's standpoint. In Defense of
Sovereignty offers another perspective, that of a nation citizen
directly involved in the litigation, augmented by contributions
from historians, attorneys, and a retired nation employee. It makes
an important contribution to public debates about the inherent
right of Indigenous nations to continue to exist and exercise
self-governance within their territories without being challenged
at every turn.
Although best known for experimental methods, social psychology
also has a strong tradition of measurement. This volume seeks to
highlight this tradition by introducing readers to measurement
strategies that help drive social psychological research and theory
development. The books opens with an analysis of the measurement
technique that dominates most of the social sciences, self-report.
Chapter 1 presents a conceptual framework for interpreting the data
generated from self-report, which it uses to provide practical
advice on writing strong and structured self-report items. From
there, attention is drawn to the many other innovative measurement
and data-collection techniques that have helped expand the range of
theories social psychologists test. Chapters 2 through 6 introduce
techniques designed to measure the internal psychological states of
individual respondents, with strategies that can stand alone or
complement anything obtained via self-report. Included are chapters
on implicit, elicitation, and diary approaches to collecting
response data from participants, as well as neurological and
psychobiological approaches to inferring underlying mechanisms. The
remaining chapters introduce creative data-collection techniques,
focusing particular attention on the rich forms of data humans
often leave behind. Included are chapters on textual analysis,
archival analysis, geocoding, and social media harvesting. The many
methods covered in this book complement one another, such that the
full volume provides researchers with a powerful toolset to help
them better explore what is "social" about human behavior.
