Hardcover. The field of critical indigenous rights studies is a complex one that benefits from an interdisciplinary perspective and a realist (as opposed to an idealised) approach to indigenous peoples. This book draws on sociology of law, anthropology, political sciences and legal sciences in order to address emerging issues in the study of indigenous rights and identify directions for future research.The first part of the volume investigates how changing identities and cultures impact rights protection, analysing how policies on development and land, and processes such as migration, interrelate with the mobilisation of identities and the realisation of rights. In the second part, new approaches related to indigenous peoples rights are scrutinised as to their potential and relevance. They include addressing legal tensions from an indigenous peoples rights perspective, creating space for counter-narratives on international law and designing new instruments.Throughout the text, case studies with wide geographical scope are presented, ranging from Latin America (the books focus) to Egypt, Rwanda and Scandinavia. This edited volume explores new directions in research on indigenous peoples and their rights. The book proposes a move towards a field of critical indigenous rights studies, characterised by taking a realist (as opposed to an idealised) approach towards indigenous peoples combined with an interdisciplinary approach. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

The field of ‘critical indigenous rights studies’ is a complex one that benefits from an interdisciplinary perspective and a realist (as opposed to an idealised) approach to indigenous peoples. This book draws on sociology of law, anthropology, political sciences and legal sciences in order to address emerging issues in the study of indigenous rights and identify directions for future research.
The first part of the volume investigates how changing identities and cultures impact rights protection, analysing how policies on development and land, and processes such as migration, interrelate with the mobilisation of identities and the realisation of rights. In the second part, new approaches related to indigenous peoples’ rights are scrutinised as to their potential and relevance. They include addressing legal tensions from an indigenous peoples’ rights perspective, creating space for counter-narratives on international law and designing new instruments.
Throughout the text, case studies with wide geographical scope are presented, ranging from Latin America (the book’s focus) to Egypt, Rwanda and Scandinavia.

About the Author
Giselle Corradi is senior researcher at the Human Rights Centre of Ghent University. She holds a PhD in Law (2012), a master's degree in Comparative Studies of Culture (2005) and a bachelor's degree in Law (2002). Her research focuses on the relationship between legal pluralism and human rights from a legal anthropological point of view. She has conducted and supervised qualitative studies of law and society in several countries and regions, including Mozambique, Bolivia, Sierra Leone, Greece and Belgium.
Koen De Feyter is professor of public international law at the University of Antwerp, where he founded the research group on law and development. He acted as one of the founding fathers of the Law and Development Research Network (LDRn). He publishes in the area of international sustainable development law and human rights. He has conducted socio–legal fieldwork in Asia and Africa and currently contributes to a long-term research project on indigenous rights in Bolivia.
Ellen Desmet is assistant professor of migration law at the Faculty of Law and Criminology of Ghent University, Belgium. She is a member of the Human Rights Centre and of the Centre for the Social Study of Migration and Refugees (CESSMIR). Her PhD research concerned indigenous peoples’ rights in the context of nature conservation, with a case study on Peru (KU Leuven, 2010). Her current research focuses on asylum and migration law, with particular attention from human rights and legal anthropological perspectives.
Katrijn Vanhees is a PhD researcher (2014–2018) at the Human Rights Centre of Ghent University. She holds master's degrees in History and Law, both obtained at Ghent University. She is an affiliated researcher of the Centre for Gender Studies, University of Rwanda. Her PhD focuses on improving land rights for women in Rwanda. The research investigates the underlying causes of women’s restricted access to land in Rwanda by studying the gender-based division of socio-economic power and resources in the household and the local community as a whole. In addition, it analyses how this gender-bargaining concept is articulated in judicial mediation cases at the Abunzi (local mediators) level.
