The Law & Anthropology Yearbook brings together a collection of studies that discuss legal problems raised by cultural differences between people and the law to which they are subject.

Volume 10 of Law & Anthropology includes eight studies that discuss various forms in which the rights of indigenous people are violated.

Topics include:

the way in which the seemingly neutral criminal justice system of Canada discriminates against aboriginal people;

the fact that land rights issues of indigenous peoples cannot be separated from political rights;

the conceptual differences between the human rights concepts underlying the modern international system, and the concepts behind human rights as these are understood in the Guatemalan Highlands; and

the relationship between the rights of indigenous peoples and upcoming new standards of environmental law.
