Dr.
Kelly’s work is a painstaking research masterpiece that addresses the global
situation of Indigenous people and the role of politics, what the author
describes as the anthropological perspective of Indigneity through the Human
Rights based context of tribal peoples as stipulated in the ILO Indigenous and
Tribal Peoples Convention of 1989. The struggle the author tackles is more
sociological and psychosomatic in nature, and is confined within the global
context. The book is the result of several years of research and study that
highlights the indigenous worries of people the world over and opens a
strategic way on how stakeholders could easily enhance policy advocacy with
governments (in order to make a breakthrough) with their actions.
In
examining the situation of Indigenous people across the globe, the author
carves out the world’s indigenous people within measurable regional regrouping
dimensions. In the pursuit he overviews the indigenous and ethnic minority
peoples’ politico-legal situations in 14 zones (South America, Russia, Central,
East and South Asia, Middle East, North America, the Arctic Region, Australia,
Eastern, Central, Northern and Southern and Western Africa), which focuses on the
situation of 400 indigenous people in 70 different countries.
Dr.
Kelly Ngyah’s findings can be amply validated by the following case that
appropriately reflects the theme of his book: The Indigniety, Anthropology,
Political Trans-nationalism and the analyses
of Indigenous
peoples outside Africa. And naturally, it is a compilation of the situation of indigenous peoples within Africa; and a
summarized cross-sectional comparative study of the presented cases in the
earlier parts.
The book touches the issue of
belonging, self determination and politics of identification throws more light
on the United Nation’s Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People, which is
addressed as sub theme equally paints the picture of a baffling realization, as
the author accurately portrayed the political, cultural, historical and
economic parameters, which define the notion and sentiment of belonging and
rights. As to whether it could be very hard to pin down perceptions.
The detailed explanations in the
book only goes to authenticate the author’s perspicacity in the treatment of
his subject matter (a world worry), and exposes other innovative areas of his
research on the Indigenous people. Just like in fame of his earlier
publications, the author displays perfect mastery of his subject matter and his
sustained interest in indigeneity has certainly qualified him as an authority
in the field reasons why a copy would provide the knowledge that would truly
empower anyone on both academic and professional bases.
Title: Nations and Community Solidarity

Nations
and Community Solidarity is not just an ordinary book given its general
appraisal on how mutually comprehensive relationships between human groupings
can be achieved. It goes beyond the artificial boundaries that separate
communities into the dark corners of its negative impact to sustain positive
actions, livelihood and project implementation. It is a book that looks deeply
into the challenges the liberalists of humane concepts and put forth the huge
allowances of human freedom (how to deal with) that arises in a nation.
The idea and the vision that Dr. Kelly Ngyah
propounds could very well encourage, inspire and shape the choices over certain
community binding rules such as the problematic compounded by stakeholders and
actors with respect to the possibility of achieving major solidarity focus with
large community perception like “the nation”, which is made up several communities.
Still, final decision must come from serious
readers who have an open mind to the word “community spirit and
solidarity”. Like many other prolific
writers, Dr. Kelly Ngyah in puts across the book his exceptionally visionary
driven, practical guide-tool for development actors. The author in this book
finds answers to the discomfort of communities within a state with diversified
cultures and poses reasons why some development initiatives would flop.
The nation here is thus faced with a very great task
to bring all its smaller and divergent political, cultural, economic, social
and scientific communities within its territory, under the same canopy goal of
peace and development. The achievement of such a national
solidarity purpose can only be possible if the nation should, in partnership
and guidance lead collaboration with its intranational as well as the
international communities, plan and implement joint development ventures.
In this book he had found several answers that do not only make sense to development
initiatives, but to any development oriented structure, researcher or actor in
search of a good guide to attain his/her goal. Dr. Ngyah developed an insight
into how and why the perception of nationalism as an imagined community is
consistent in scope and applied context when it comes to “Nations and
Community Solidarity”. The ups and downs of nations and community
solidarity have been treated as sub themes in the book with the refined
conception of citizenship and other national unity symbols including the
national flag and emblems giving the nation-State a venerated and autonomous
mother community overview. This means
that, the nation holds due overall responsibility to ensure its role in
fostering peaceful solidarity amongst the communities under its territorial
jurisdiction, but:
1. Is this always the case?
2. If not, should that be the
reason why the international community should interfere in the protector
privileges that ought to be solely, an autonomous issue for the imagined
nation-State community?
3. Can nations within the
true practical conception and implementation of their bestowed autonomies and
sovereignties be trusted with the safety of their intranational communities?
What do you suggest?
In order to get answers to these worries it primordial and necessary to
