Tawiscara

"Tawiscara. The Hijacking of Democracy" explores the idea that modern democracy and foundational political concepts may have origins in Indigenous American societies, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy, rather than Europe. The author traces how these ideas were transformed over centuries through European Enlightenment influences into the political and economic systems we recognize today. The book encourages reflection on the present state of liberal democracies, questioning whether their principles can be reclaimed amidst contemporary challenges.
