Description
This volume lays bare a great weight of subordination, and there is no naive optimism that it can be dismantled. Thus the situation of the Brazilian Indians, as recounted by David Maybury-Lewis, is catastrophic. Their environment and their way of life are being destroyed apace, and their culture is dismissed as of no value by the dominant forces in Brazil. Similarly, the Aborigines of Australia have been appallingly treated and now exist at the bottom of Australian society. In India, the tribals' forests have been decimated and the condition of the Untouchables remains a subordinated one. The contributors to this study explore the rights of aboriginal or tribal people the world over. Recognizing that subordinate conditions must primarily be overthrown by the subordinated peoples themselves, the text provides examples describing how these people are standing up for themselves as never before.
