PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION:
"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 distillation of the complex debate surrounding the content
of the right to self-determination has a clarity that is often
missing in discussions of the term....Anaya's presentation of the
history, continuing struggles, and achievements of the indigienous
rights movement is exemplary scholarship."--European Journal of
International Law
"Deserves a readership well beyond those interested only in
indigenous peoples. It is a fascinating study of the dramatic
changes occurring in the doctrine of international law in our
times."--American Journal of International Law
"...The scope, detail, and documentary rigor of [the book] make it
an essential reference for future work in the field."-American
Political Science Review
"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
"[P]rovides 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
"This book is particularly important for the readers who want a
deeper understanding of how and why indigenous peoples are in their
current condition 'relative to others in humanity'"--Human Rights &
Human Welfare
