Some assume that Canada earned a place among postcolonial states in 1982 when it took charge of its Constitution. Yet despite the formal recognition accorded to Aboriginal and treaty rights, Indigenous peoples continue to argue they are still being colonized.
Grace Woo assesses this allegation using a binary model that distinguishes colonial from postcolonial legality. She argues that two legal paradigms governed the expansion of the British Empire, one based on popular consent, the other on conquest and the power to command. Despite the best intentions of lawyers and judges, the beliefs and practices of the colonial age continue to haunt Supreme Court of Canada rulings concerning Indigenous rights.
The binary analysis applied in Ghost Dancing with Colonialism casts explanatory light on ongoing tensions between Canada and Indigenous peoples, suggesting new ways to bridge the cultural divide and arrive at a truly postcolonial justice system.

Описание: "Exquisite . . . for anyone interested in building a sustainable life that is imbued with vibrant, healthy, mental and emotional clarity, and the most basic human need of all: happiness." -- Donna Farhi, author of Yoga Mind, Body, Spirit For centuries, Chinese leaders and seekers have embraced the art of self-cultivation, xiu yang ("sheow-yaang"). A simple yet powerful principle, xiu yang fosters the capacity to be fully human and awake, finding balance and peace at home and in the community. Author Mimi Kuo-Deemer leads readers through a combination of practices from meditation and mindfulness to yoga and qigong, offering ancient wisdom to help address contemporary challenges. "A treasure chest for the heart and mind, a potent tonic for body and breath, and a vibrant life essence for the spirit." -- Simon Low, Principal of the Yoga Academy "A beautiful and timely gift." -- Sifu Matthew Cohen, Sacred Energy Arts Founder "Profound and powerful." -- Noman Blair, author of Brightening Our Inner Skies "Kuo-Deemer doesn't simply write about these ancient teachings, she shares the fruits of practicing them, processing timeless truths in her own heart and mind and body, so that we can do so in ours. Xiu Yang gives glimpses of her own transformational self-cultivation, while showing us a path for our own." -- Martin Lylward, Co-Founder, The Mindfulness Institute "Almost lost in China over the past century's onslaught of modernization, xiu yang is now at the center of Chinese people's search for values and belief -- a tribute to the enduring power of these ancient practices. In this slender but powerful book, Mimi Kuo-Deemer unlocks xiu yang for the modern reader, de-mystifying it without losing the eternal, timeless qualities that have made it one of Chinese people's most potent ways of living a good, honorable, happy, and healthy life." -- Ian Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao
