SOVEREIGNTY
Understanding the right of sovereignty.
Are we participants of a sovereign nation?
Sovereignty: The union and exercise of all human power possessed in a state; it is a combination of all power; it is the power to do everything in a state without accountability; to make laws, to execute and to apply them: to impose and collect taxes, and, levy, contributions; to make war or peace; to form treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign nations, and the like.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1856 Edition)
Cultural Sovereignty: The right for the people of a community or nation to observe cultural practices without persecution or repercussion. This includes the practice of religious practices, the use of native languages, the practice of place making, and the carrying out of other forms of traditional customs. The understanding of a cultural and historical cohesion among the people of a sovereign nation.
Economic Sovereignty: The right for the people of a community or nation to have sufficient and equal access to the means of economic survival and self-determination. How individuals gain access to these means is determined by the nation/community and is not dictated by those outside of the nation/community.
Political Sovereignty: The right for the people of a community or nation to govern themselves. This includes the production laws, systems of accountability, and the right for the people to choose their own political leaders without interference from those outside of the sovereign nation.
Students will investigate issues of sovereignty within their communities in East Oakland. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with young photographers from Palestine who are touring the U.S. Connections between challenges of sovereignty in East Oakland and Palestine will be made through picture swaps, discussions, and other activities.
