The development and adoption of the United Nations Declaration on
the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was a huge success for
the global indigenous movement. This book offers an insightful and
nuanced contemporary evaluation of the progress and challenges that
indigenous peoples have faced in securing the implementation of
this new instrument, as well as its normative impact, at both the
national and international levels. The chapters in this collection
offer a multi-disciplinary analysis of the UNDRIP as it enters the
second decade since its adoption by the UN General Assembly in
2007. Following centuries of resistance by Indigenous peoples to
state, and state sponsored, dispossession, violence, cultural
appropriation, murder, neglect and derision, the UNDRIP is an
achievement with deep implications in international law, policy and
politics. In many ways, it also represents just the beginning –
the opening of new ways forward that include advocacy, activism,
and the careful and hard-fought crafting of new relationships
between Indigenous peoples and states and their dominant
populations and interests. This book was originally published as a
special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
This book explores the ways in which minority groups across the
world are reshaping the international minority rights protection
system. It documents the actions of four major groups that are
using transnational social mobilisation to achieve recognition of
their identities and their rights. The result is a greater
pluralism in global identity politics and a wide range of new
group-specific standards that can inform policies on
multiculturalism, political participation, and socio-economic
inclusion in the national and international spheres. The book
begins by summarising the learning from the global movements of
indigenous peoples and Roma. The book then focuses in greater depth
on the cases of Afro-descendants in Latin America and of Dalits and
caste-affected groups in South Asia and beyond. Each case study
shows the historical roots of group-specific transnational
mobilisation and how activists have constructed a distinct identity
frame out of shared experiences. The book explores key parallels
and differences between the discourse, framing strategies,
organisational structures and political opportunities used in each
case to show which factors have influenced the success or failures
of their norm entrepreneurship. The role that international
institutions have played in supporting these efforts is given
special attention, including intergovernmental bodies such as the
UN, the EU and the OAS, and international non-governmental
organisations. The UN World Conference Against Racism is explored
as a particularly significant political opportunity across the
cases. Among academic audiences, this book will appeal to those
researching minority rights, social movements, global governance,
discrimination and multiculturalism from legal, political,
sociological and critical theory perspectives. It will also
interest practitioners and activists working on minority rights and
the challenges of norm compliance, socio-economic inclusion and
governance.

This handbook is a comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of
indigenous peoples' rights. Chapters by experts in the field
examine legal, philosophical, sociological and political issues,
addressing a wide range of themes at the centre of debates on the
rights of indigenous peoples. The book addresses not only the major
questions, such as 'Who are indigenous peoples? What is distinctive
about their rights? How are their rights constructed and protected?
What is the relationship between national indigenous rights regimes
and international norms?' but also themes such as culture,
identity, genocide, globalization and development, and the
environment. The book is divided into eight sections, which will
each discuss and analyse a number of themes at the heart of the
debates on the rights of indigenous peoples. Part 1: Indigeneity
Part 2: Rights and Governance Part 3: Indigenous Women's Rights
Part 4: Development and the Environment Part 5: Mobilization for
Indigenous Peoples' Rights Part 6: Justice and Reparations Part 7:
International Monitoring and Mechanisms for Indigenous Peoples'
Rights Part 8: Regional Case Studies This book will be essential
reading for academics working in the field, students on courses in
human rights, international relations, political science,
philosophy, sociology and law. It will also be of interest to
practitioners and activists working in the indigenous rights field
and in the human rights field more generally.
