This document provides an introduction to the edited book "Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Southern Africa". It discusses the debate around defining indigenous populations in Africa and argues that while determining antecedence is difficult given human migration patterns, certain groups identify themselves as culturally distinct and have faced issues like dispossession, impoverishment, and discrimination. The book focuses on indigenous groups in Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, and the region more broadly, examining their human rights, land rights, gender issues, education, and efforts to promote indigenous rights. While countries like South Africa have made progress on rights, others have discriminated against indigenous peoples and deprived them of ancestral lands and resources.
