Instead, Aboriginal identity is framed in terms of cultural and national traits, while self-government is taken to represent an Aboriginal desire to protect those traits. Shifting Boundaries challenges this view, arguing that it fosters a woefully incomplete understanding of the politics of self-government." "In focusing on relational pluralism, Shifting Boundaries adds an important perspective to existing theoretical approaches to Aboriginal self-government. It will appeal to academics, students, and policy analysts interested in Aboriginal governance, cultural studies, political theory, nationalism studies, and constitutional theory."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 206-215) and index Notes Print version record Subject Indigenous peoples -- Canada -- Politics and government Indigenous peoples -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Canada Indigenous peoples -- Canada -- Government relations Indigenous peoples -- Canada -- Ethnic identity Cultural pluralism.
