520    "In this powerful, timely study Ronald Niezen examines the
       processes by which cultural concepts are conceived and 
       collective rights are defended in international law. 
       Niezen argues that cultivating support on behalf of those 
       experiencing human rights violations often calls for 
       strategic representations of injustice and suffering to 
       distant audiences. The positive impulse behind public 
       responses to political abuse can be found in the 
       satisfaction of justice done. But the fact that oppressed 
       peoples and their supporters from around the world are 
       competing for public attention is actually a profound 
       source of global difference, stemming from differential 
       capacities to appeal to a remote, unknown public. Niezen's
       discussion of the impact of public opinion on law provides
       fresh insights into the importance of legally-constructed 
       identity and the changing pathways through which it is 
       being shaped - crucial issues for all those with an 
       interest in anthropology, politics and human rights law" -
