The Elusive Promise Of Indigenous Development Rights,...

How are social movements informed by culture? What roles can culture play in advancing social movements? These are two important questions raised in Karen Engle’s The Elusive Promise of Indigenous Development: Rights, Culture, Strategy. Asking how indigenous advocacy has gotten where it is, Engle offers a provocative examination of international, regional, and domestic law related to indigenous peoples (and other groups that have â€Å"piggy-backed† on the successes of indigenous movements). A critical legal scholar, Engle starts her query by asking the tough questions. Rather than assuming that the indigenous rights movement’s conquests have been always for the better, she questions instead the movement’s early fundamental choices and their â€Å"unintended consequences† and â€Å"dark sides.† This critical look at the evolution of indigenous rights (which, she contends, are largely based on different versions of â€Å"culture†) is critical for reassessing indigenous advocacy, and moving it beyond essentialized and reified understandings of culture and identity. Engle is highly critical of â€Å"strategic essentialism,† which, despite the advances it has enabled in indigenous advocacy, has ultimately failed to challenge the law or push for its transformation.
