This book draws on the experiences of the indigenous movement in
Myanmar to explore how the local construction of indigenous
identities connects communities to global mechanisms for addressing
human rights and environmental issues. Various communities in
Myanmar have increasingly adapted international discourses of
indigenous identity as a vehicle to access international legal
mechanisms to address their human rights and environmental
grievances against the Myanmar state. Such exercise of global
discourses overlays historical endemic struggles of diverse peoples
involving intersectional issues of self- determination, cultural
survival, and control over natural resources. This book draws
implications for the intersectionality of local and global
theoretical discourses of indigeneity, human rights, and
environment. It uses such implications to identify attendant issues
for the aspirations of international human rights and environmental
efforts and the practice of their associated international legal
mechanisms. This book informs readers of the agency and
capabilities of communities in underdeveloped countries to engage
different global mechanisms to address local grievances against
their states. Readers will develop a more critical understanding of
the issues posed by the local construction of indigeneity for the
ideals and practice of international efforts regarding human rights
and the environment. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of indigenous studies, human rights,
international law, Asian studies, development studies, and the
environment.
