 Share this product | The New Imperial Order: Indigenous Responses to GlobalizationThe New Imperial Order is concerned with the many ways in which globalization impacts upon indigenous peoples and their response. Makere Stewart-Harawira argues that indigenous world-views are profoundly important to the development of alternative frameworks for global order that combine economic principles with spiritual values. "Makere Stewart-Harawira has undertaken a thorough and scholarly examination of indigeneity in a global environment and has made a valuable and major contribution to the indigenous literature.' - Professor Mason Durie, Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Maori), Massey University, New Zealand. 'This book is a timely and welcome addition to the critical literature emerging as a response to globalization. It is an impressive piece of work - huge in scope, intellectually challenging and ambitious in its aims' - Professor Michael Peters, Research Professor of Education, University of Glasgow, Scotland. "In this timely and important book, Stewart Harawira provides a wide-ranging critique of globalisation from an interdisciplinary perspective. But this is not all. This book also develops a sophisticated analysis of the impact of globalisation on indigenous peoples, and more radically, what indigenous epistemological perspectives can offer in return to the theories and practices of globalisation." - Professor Stephen May, University of Waikato, New Zealand. "This is a magnificent work" - Professor Carl Urion, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, University of Alberta, Canada. "Given the global impact of neoliberalism on indigenous cultures, and those cultures in all parts of the globe who lack power and resources, it is important to understand what effects such policies have, and what strategies of resistance are possible. This book enables such an understanding. It is at once both an in-depth investigation into the processes of globalization, and an assessment of the effects on indigenous peoples. Utilizing Hardt and Negri's important concept of a 'return to empire', Makere Stewart-Harawira traces the rise of a new bio-power of surveillance and control in the interests of global domination. It is essential reading for those wanting an introduction to a complex area of study, and for specialists as well." - Professor Mark Olssen, Department of Political, International and Policy Studies, University of Surrey.
