On the twelfth floor of an undistinguished-looking high-rise, a
tribunal adjudicates the human rights of Indigenous individuals.
Why isn’t the process working? Witness to the Human Rights
Tribunals draws on testimony, ethnographic data, and years of
tribunal decisions to show how specific cases are fought, and
offers an in-depth look at anthropological expertise in the courts.
Bruce Miller’s candid analysis reveals the double-edged nature of
the tribunal, which both protects human rights and re-engages the
trauma of discrimination that suffuses social and legal systems. He
definitively concludes that any reform must recognize symbolic
trauma before Indigenous claimants can receive appropriate justice.
