This monograph offers an introduction and eighteen separate articles designed to promote a general understanding of the Asian indigenous people’s movement. The authors include sociologists, anthropologists, scholars of international law, and journalists. They address common themes, including the definition of the term “indigenous peoples,” the question of ethnic identity, historical priority, the critical issue of self-determination, the ownership and control of land and resources, ecological exploitation and protection, the colonial heritage, and relations to (or domination by) the state.
“. . . a most impressive collection of essays. . . .This book will constitute a major advance in our general understanding of the character of these Asian ‘indigenous’ movements and will be of value to scholars working in many cognate disciplines.”
Professor Peter Carey, Fellow in Modern History, Trinity College, Oxford University.
“This volume presents timely information on a pressing issue. . . . The bibliographies alone will be worth the book for many specialists and for students with a beginning interest in this very real human problem. The book's more provocative points on policy and development issues are stated clearly and always rest on a solid grasp of the historical contexts of the cases examined.”
Professor Robert McKinley, Anthropology Department, Michigan State University.
