Remote Freedoms explores the contradictions and tensions of localized human rights
work in far-flung Indigenous communities. Based on field research with Anangu in Central
Australia, this book investigates how universal human rights are understood, practiced,
negotiated, and challenged in concert and in conflict with Indigenous rights. Moving
between communities, government, regional NGOs, and international UN forums, Sarah
E. Holcombe addresses how the notion of rights plays out within the distinctive and
ambivalent sociopolitical context of Australia, with a focus on Indigenous women and
their experiences of violence. Can the secular modern rights-bearer accommodate the
ideals of the relational, spiritual Anangu person? Holcombe offers new insights into
our understanding of how the global rights discourse is circulated and understood
within Indigenous cultures. She reveals how, in the postcolonial Australian context,
human rights are double-edged: they enforce assimilation to a neoliberal social order
at the same time that they empower and enfranchise the Indigenous citizen as a political
actor. Remote Freedoms writes Australia's Indigenous peoples into the international
debate on localizing rights in multicultural terms--back cover
