Witness to the Human Rights Tribunals: How the System Fails Indigenous Peoples
Autor Bruce Miller Cuvânt înainte de Sharon Venne-Manyfingersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2023
On the twelfth floor of an undistinguished-looking high-rise in a Canadian city, a tribunal adjudicates the human rights of Indigenous individuals. Why isn’t the process working?
First establishing the context with an in-depth look at the role of anthropological expertise in the courts, Witness to the Human Rights Tribunals then draws on testimony, ethnographic data, and years of tribunal decisions to show how specific cases are fought. Bruce Miller’s candid analysis reveals the double-edged nature of the tribunal itself, which re-engages with the trauma and violence of discrimination that suffuses social and legal systems while it attempts to protect human rights.
Should the human rights tribunal system be replaced, or paired with an Indigenous-centered system? How can anthropologists promote understanding of the pervasive discrimination that Indigenous people face? This important book convincingly concludes that any reform must consider the problem of symbolic trauma before Indigenous claimants can receive appropriate justice.

Recenzii
“A finely grained methodological tour de force, Witness to the Human Rights Tribunals brilliantly details the distance between Indigenous people’s concerns and the capacity of the judicial system to redress wrongs.”
"Miller’s expertise and experience in this area are extremely significant. His insights in this book are invaluable."
