Описание:

In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly determined that affordable Internet access is a human right, critical to citizen participation in democratic governments. Given the significance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to social and political life, many U.S. tribes and Native organizations have created their own projects, from streaming radio to building networks to telecommunications advocacy. In Network Sovereignty, Marisa Duarte examines these ICT projects to explore the significance of information flows and information systems to Native sovereignty, and toward self-governance, self-determination, and decolonization.

By reframing how tribes and Native organizations harness these technologies as a means to overcome colonial disconnections, Network Sovereignty shifts the discussion of information and communication technologies in Native communities from one of exploitation to one of Indigenous possibility.

Описание: Eduardo Mondlane was an extremely promising, able, well-educated, charismatic scion of an impoverished aristocratic Tsonga family in southern Mo ambique. He was strongly backed by the Kennedys, "the best and the brightest" of their State Department, their CIA, and the Ford Foundation. He enjoyed significant support in Portugal and was universally supported by the Western Democracies and by influential Africans like Nyerere and Bourguiba. How could Mondlane lose control, and the West lose its influence, in the nationalist movement he had so capably founded? The letter bomb Mondlane opened on Feb. 3, 1969 ended his campaign for a moderate, democratic, prosperous, socially responsible, unaligned Mozambique and swept his unfortunate country, as he had feared, into the destitution of a proxy Cold War. How could this happen? Jos Duarte explains the national and international factions surrounding Mondlane that led to his destruction and the destruction of his country.
