John H. Stevens

a good beginning for indigenous rights work

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2000

Pritchard's book is really a collection of pieces on how indigenous activists can use international law and standards to advance their agendas at the United Nations. Overall the book is sound, although it is often dry and doesn't delve very deeply into strategizing. Pritchard presents the international mechanisms in a way that an educated layperson can understand, and the contributors try to demonstrate ways that these materials can be useful to activists. There is a lot of useful basic information here, and from a legal perspective there are a number of ideas that can be gleaned from the book. In terms of presenting the political situation it is not as effective, and I felt that more context and concrete examples would increase the utility of the book. I recommend it especially to students and activists who are new to the UN human rights system and want to fill in some of the procedural and legal details of the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights.
