Land and Cultural Survival
Author: Jayantha Perera
Publisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 9292547135
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Development in Asia faces a crucial issue: the right of indigenous peoples to build a better life while protecting their ancestral lands and cultural identity. An intimate relationship with land expressed in communal ownership has shaped and sustained these cultures over time. But now, public and private enterprises encroach upon indigenous peoples' traditional domains, extracting minerals and timber, and building dams and roads. Displaced in the name of progress, indigenous peoples find their identities diminished, their livelihoods gone. Using case studies from Cambodia, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines, nine experts examine vulnerabilities and opportunities of indigenous peoples. Debunking the notion of tradition as an obstacle to modernization, they find that those who keep control of their communal lands are the ones most able to adapt.

Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Author: Tahu Kukutai
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760460311
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
As the global ‘data revolution’ accelerates, how can the data rights and interests of indigenous peoples be secured? Premised on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book argues that indigenous peoples have inherent and inalienable rights relating to the collection, ownership and application of data about them, and about their lifeways and territories. As the first book to focus on indigenous data sovereignty, it asks: what does data sovereignty mean for indigenous peoples, and how is it being used in their pursuit of self-determination? The varied group of mostly indigenous contributors theorise and conceptualise this fast-emerging field and present case studies that illustrate the challenges and opportunities involved. These range from indigenous communities grappling with issues of identity, governance and development, to national governments and NGOs seeking to formulate a response to indigenous demands for data ownership. While the book is focused on the CANZUS states of Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and the United States, much of the content and discussion will be of interest and practical value to a broader global audience. ‘A debate-shaping book … it speaks to a fast-emerging field; it has a lot of important things to say; and the timing is right.’ — Stephen Cornell, Professor of Sociology and Faculty Chair of the Native Nations Institute, University of Arizona ‘The effort … in this book to theorise and conceptualise data sovereignty and its links to the realisation of the rights of indigenous peoples is pioneering and laudable.’ — Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Baguio City, Philippines

The Rights and Status of Indigenous Peoples in Nigeria
Author: Olugbenga I Ademodi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781936955060
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The plight of the indigenous peoples has generated enormous attention all over the world, and Nigeria is no exception. The indigenous peoples' demands and the responses by modern nation-states comprise a number of different responses. There are conflicting claims between peoples claiming to be indigenous and the various governments where they reside. There is controversy over whether some groups are indigenous or whether they are simply disenfranchised minorities. The Rights and Status of Indigenous Peoples in Nigeria examines whether "indigenous peoples" truly exist in Nigeria and whether they are entitled to all of the rights enjoyed by their counterparts all over the world. A valuable book which, among others, bridges the gap between the international protection of indigenous peoples and the indigenous peoples of Africa. Dr. Erica-Irene A. Daes, Founding Chairperson & Special Rapporteur, United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations Dr. Ademodi's book represents a highly innovative publication, which fills a gap in pre-existing legal literature as it offers the first comprehensive assessment ever not only of the legal status (in light of the relevant international and domestic laws), but also of the anthropological and historical reality of indigenous peoples in Nigeria. Dr. Federico Lenzerini, Rapporteur of the "Committee on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" of the International Law Association

Celem początkowym niniejszych badań jest przegląd i systematyzacja poglądów na temat bezpieczeństwa ludzkiego oraz charakterystyka tej koncepcji, jak również koncepcji\pojęcia ludu tubylczego. Celem autorki jest zdefiniowanie bezpieczeństwa ludzkiego oraz wskazanie jego specyfiki w kontekście Arktyki, co jest szczególnie wyraźne w przypadku zagrożeń i wyzwań dla bezpieczeństwa ludzkiego w tym regionie. Mają one zdecydowanie specyficzny charakter, dlatego badaczka w dużej mierze skupia się na takich zagrożeniach wynikających ze zmian klimatu.

Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge for the Modern Era
Author: David R. Katerere
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351981781
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
While there is talk of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, old and new challenges bedevil the world – climate change, nutrition, and health poverty being at the top of the list. In seeking solutions to these and other problems which afflict the modern era, it is worthwhile to look into our collective past, to the traditions and knowledges of our ancestors. Such knowledge continues to exist in many parts of the world, though now marginalized by homogenous, Eurocentric ontolology and epistemology. This book presents a compilation of reviews, case studies, and primary research attempting to locate the utility of traditional and Indigenous Knowledges in an increasingly complex world. It assembles chapter authors from across the world to tackle topics ranging from traditional knowledge-based innovations and commercialization, traditional medicine systems as practiced around the world, ethnoveterinary practices, and food innovation to traditional governance and leadership systems, among others. This book is an important resource for policymakers; scholars and researchers of cultural studies, leadership, governance, ethnobotany, anthropology, plant genetic resources and technology innovation; and readers interested in the history of knowledge and culture, as well as cultural activists and political scientists. Features: Unique combination of social science and anthropological aspects with natural science perspectives Includes summaries aimed at policymakers to immediately see what would be relevant to their work Combines case studies illuminating important lessons learned with reviews and primary data Multidisciplinary in the scope of the topics tackled and assemblage of contributors Global footprint with contributions from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia, and the West Indies David R.

The Protection of Cultural Heritage During Armed Conflict
Author: Noelle Higgins
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000059316
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
This book analyses the current legal framework seeking to protect cultural heritage during armed conflict and discusses proposed and emerging paradigms for its better protection. Cultural heritage has always been a victim of conflict, with monuments and artefacts frequently destroyed as collateral damage in wars throughout history. In addition, works of art have been viewed as booty by victors and stolen in the aftermath of conflict. However, deliberate destruction of cultural sites and items has also occurred, and the Intentional destruction of cultural heritage has been a hallmark of recent conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, where we have witnessed unprecedented, systematic attacks on culture as a weapon of war. In Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Mali, extremist groups such as ISIS and Ansar Dine have committed numerous acts of iconoclasm, deliberately destroying heritage sites, and looting valuable artefacts symbolic of minority cultures. This study explores how the international law framework can be fully utilised in order to tackle the destruction of cultural heritage, and analyses various paradigms which have recently been suggested for its better protection, including the Responsibility to Protect paradigm and the peace and security paradigm. This volume will be an essential resource for scholars and practitioners in the areas of public international law, especially international humanitarian law and cultural heritage law.

Pages : 365
Book Description
Over the last five years, widespread concern about the effects of social media on democracy has led to an explosion in research from different disciplines and corners of academia. This book is the first of its kind to take stock of this emerging multi-disciplinary field by synthesizing what we know, identifying what we do not know and obstacles to future research, and charting a course for the future inquiry. Chapters by leading scholars cover major topics – from disinformation to hate speech to political advertising – and situate recent developments in the context of key policy questions. In addition, the book canvasses existing reform proposals in order to address widely perceived threats that social media poses to democracy.
