Erica-Irene Daes is an academic and international lawyer of great repute. She has been defending the right of indigenous peoples internationally for many decades. She has fought for for their legitimisation via inclusion within United Nations bodies and processes. A battle that has been hard fought but with sweet triumphs.
This work is a culmination of her experiences over some 20 years and the path the UN itself has travelled in the last 30 to bridge a gap between little to no recognition in the UN system to now being at the forefront.
This book acts as a solid historical record from an active actor in indigenous affairs. Replete with legal principles, cultural heritage and meaning backed up by various case studies, this is a book that is held in high regards by those working in the field of social justice.

Hello everyone
This is our inaugural post of ‘The Human Rights Book Review’.
Just to let you all know, we here at The Human Rights Book Review are librarian/information managers with decades of experience between us in quality information service delivery. For the last 12 years I myself have been involved in various organisations, firms and government bodies worldwide, practising public international law, civil rights and human rights. I have a very large breadth of connections to publishers, academics, authors, professional individuals and bodies alike which produce the highest quality materials on these very important subjects. We hope to alert others to some of those connections and materials here, review them as best as we can and where possible alert you to quality suppliers.
Best of luck on your information travels.
Michael Simon of the Human Rights Book Review
