<br><br>~~~<br>Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond<br>Tuesdays 4-5pm EDT<br>88.1 fm, Middletown, CT<br>Listen online LIVE: www.wesufm.org<br><br>On Tuesday, February 19, 2008, join your host, Dr. J.
Kehaulani Kauanui<strong style=""> </strong><br>for an interview
with Dr. Amy Den Ouden, Professor of Anthropology at the <br>University of
Massachussetts, Boston, where she teaches courses on <br>cultural theory,
colonialism, gender and power, critical approaches to <br>history and
historiography in Native New England, contemporary political <br>issues in Native
North America, and indigenous rights and the law in <br>global perspective.<span style=""> </span>She is the author of <em>Beyond Conquest:
Native Peoples <br>and the Struggle for History in New England</em>, a history of
Native American <br>peoples in southern <st1:place w:st="on">New England</st1:place>
from the seventeenth century to the <br>present with a focus on the complex
cultural and political facets of resistance <br>to encroachment on reservation
lands. Her important work also links how the <br>current white American scrutiny
and denial of local Indian identities is a practice<br>with a long history in
southern New England, one linked to colonial notions of <br>cultural-and ultimately
"racial"-illegitimacy that emerged in the context of <br>eighteenth-century
disputes regarding Native land rights.
