E. Ike Udogu and Sambuddha Ghatak. (Eds.,). Human Rights Dilemmas in the Developing World: The Case of Marginalized Populations at Risk. (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books: 2017)
This volume is intended to bring to the fore the issues of human rights infractions of groups who because of their lack of political clout are often treated differently with respect to their human rights than their dominant and powerful compatriots. Powerful and influential groups control the policies of government, instrument of coercion, agencies and agents with which the human rights of minorities and other marginalized groups in society are frequently violated. These collectivities whose rights are often breached despite national constitution-cum-international human rights precepts that forbid such violations include, but are not limited to, aboriginals/indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities and the poor who are relegated to environmentally devastated milieus.
