Summary

This major book brings together two of today's leading concerns in development policy - the urgent need to prioritize poverty reduction and the particular circumstances of indigenous peoples in both developing and industrialized countries. The contributors analyse patterns of indigenous disadvantage worldwide, the centrality of the right to self-determination, and indigenous peoples' own diverse perspectives on development. In addition to the general analyses put forward, there is a rich collection of specific country and particular indigenous populations' experiences from the Americas, Australia, South East Asia, Europe and Russia. One overall conclusion that emerges is that both differences and commonalities must be recognized in any realistic study of indigenous poverty.
