This volume of the International Yearbook for Legal Anthropology, edited by René Kuppe and Richard Potz, explores the intersection of law and cultural differences, particularly focusing on the rights of indigenous peoples. It presents various studies addressing legal challenges faced by indigenous communities under imposed legal systems and explores both political and cultural approaches to indigenous rights. The book examines topics such as tribal law in the United States, the impact of legislation on customary practices in Africa, and the coexistence of indigenous and state law. Through these discussions, it highlights the complexities of maintaining indigenous cultural identity within modern legal frameworks. The yearbook is intended for scholars and practitioners in the fields of legal anthropology and indigenous rights.
