Summary

In this thoroughly revised and updated edition of the first book-lengthtreatment of the subject, S. James Anaya incorporates references to all thelatest treaties and recent developments in the international law of indigenouspeoples. Anaya demonstrates that, while historical trends in international lawlargely facilitated colonization of indigenous peoples and their lands, moderninternational law's human rights program has been modestly responsive toindigenous peoples' aspirations to survive as distinct communities in control oftheir own destinies.This book provides a theoretically grounded and practically oriented synthesisof the historical, contemporary and emerging international law related toindigenous peoples. It will be of great interest to scholars and lawyers ininternational law and human rights, as well as to those interested in thedynamics of indigenous and ethnic identity.
