Why isn't the process working? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e First establishing the context with an in-depth look at the role of anthropological expertise in the courts, \u003ci\u003eWitness to the Human Rights Tribunals\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774867760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774867764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Bruce Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634788987135,"sku":"9780774867764","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3e607b1-5dd3-4dea-bfe2-92b5cd8d8eeb.jpg?v=1703590922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/witness-to-the-human-rights-bruce-miller-9780774867764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
