Wie gestaltet sich die indigene Selbstorganisation unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung? Für wen sprechen die Repräsentanten indigener Bewegungen und was wollen sie für die von ihnen Vertretenen erreichen? Diese Studie beleuchtet aus ethnologischer Perspektive die Prozesse, die den Diskurs und die Praxis indigener Repräsentanten im lokalen, nationalen und internationalen Kontext prägen. Das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen den verschiedenen politischen Bezugsfeldern wird anhand empirischer Daten einer multi-lokalen Forschung veranschaulicht, die von der UNO in New York über Lima bis ins peruanische Tiefland führt.

This is an account of the ideas about and public policies relating to the relationship between government and religion from the settlement of Virginia in 1607 to the presidency of Andrew Jackson, 1829–37. This book describes the impact and the relationship of various events, legislative, and judicial actions, including the English Toleration Act of 1689, the First and Second Great Awakenings, the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, and Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists. Four principles were paramount in the American approach to government's relation to religion: the importance of religion to public welfare; the resulting desirability of government support of religion (within the limitations of political culture); liberty of conscience and voluntaryism; the requirement that religion be supported by free will offerings, not taxation. Hutson analyzes and describes the development and interplay of these principles, and considers the relevance of the concept of the separation of church and state during this period
