Rainforest Warriors by Richard Price

Rainforest Warriors by Richard Price

Rainforest Warriors is a historical, ethnographic, and documentary account of a people, their threatened rainforest, and their successful attempt to harness international human rights law in their fight to protect their way of lifepart of a larger story of tribal and indigenous peoples that is unfolding all over the globe.

"Rainforest Warriors is, for activists and jurists, a lesson; for perpetrators of human rights violations, a warning; and for academics, journalists, and anyone else whose career depends on fieldwork, a hope that our work can one day reciprocate the favors of our host communities and study 'subjects'"—Human Rights Review

"An extraordinary work of remarkable depth and consequence. . . . Price is an exceptional ethnographer of Saramaka communities, histories, and individual lives. He is also a clear and informed ethnographer of emergent human rights regimes. Humane, reflective, actively written, and exceptionally thought-provoking, Rainforest Warriors will be a classic."—Donald Brennis, University of California, Santa Cruz
