editors Marc Becker, Patit Mishra, Barbara Bennett Peterson, Hakeem
Tijani, and Harald Haarmann; and to be published by the renowned
reference publisher M.E. Sharpe, will examine the complex relationships
between the world's indigenous groups and the societies that surround
them. Of particular interest will be borderlands issues that arise when
indigenous groups are either migratory across international borders or
have territories that span international borders. It will serve both as

worldwide, and a ready-reference resource for people wishing to easily

depth and a breadth of information, making it an indispensable resource
