The Fourth World
A Global Movement
From: Unsettling Canada
$1.20
The Fourth World discusses the struggle to find justice on the international stage when it has been denied at home. This chapter focuses on the history of the idea of a “the Fourth World” wherein Indigenous nations were trapped within states in the First, Second, and Third Worlds, who had been kept isolated and voiceless for too long. The chapter follows Manuel’s own time working with other Indigenous activists across the world and how they pushed for collective action both at home and globally.
