Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A superb description and analysis of the origins and current practices of the international law of indigenous rights. The book is timely and important and will be indispensable to scholars and practitioners."--W.M. Reisman, Yale Law School
"James Anaya has done for indigenous people in international law what Felix Cohen did for Native Americans in the United States. He has brought clarity, understanding, and order to a field previously understood only in isolated bits and pieces. It will now be impossible to think about this topic without consideration of Professor Anaya's prodigious research and deeply analytical jurisprudential and pragmatic insights."--Rennard Strickland, Dean, Oklahoma City University School of Law, and Editor-in-chief, Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law
"[The author's] arguments are persuasive and his research immaculate."--The Annals (The American Academy of Political and Social Science)
"...The scope, detail, and documentary rigor of [the book] make it an essential reference for future work in the field."--American Political Science Review
"..a refreshing and useful perspective... No human rights collection would be complete without this well-documented survey of an often-neglected area of international law"--American Society of International Law
"Anaya's presentation of the history, continuing struggles, and achievements of the indigenous rights movement is exemplary scholarship."--European Journal of International Law, Vol.8, No.2, 1997
"...provides a thorough, insightful, and constructive analysis of the treatment of indigenous peoples in both historical and contemporary international law regimes. The book leaves the reader with a clearer understanding of the failures of international law in the past, as well as a sense of the potential of international law today."--Virginia Journal of International Law

A Seminal Work,
By Tim Hundsdorfer (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indigenous Peoples in International Law (Paperback)
The obscure international relations world of international organizations and countries is generally visible and comprehensible to academics and human rights activists, but Anaya has written a seminal work in this area that provides sufficient background for readers to understand the relationship between indigenous peoples and human rights. This is extremely important reading for environmental activists interested in preserving the rainforest, defending sensitive environmental homelands of tribal peoples or understanding the question of access to international fora.Anaya provides a legal background for the domination of the Western hemisphere by whites and shows how thin it really is. But the really great thing about this book is that it shows what the state of indigenous people in international bodies is and how it is harnessed by human rights and environmental groups.
