This is a book review of State of the Peoples: A Global Human Rights Report on Societies in Danger, edited by Marc S. Miller.Diversity is fundamental to both anthropology and ecology. More than just a fashionable buzzword, diversity is key to global ecological and cultural integrity, and cultural diversity is linked to biological diversity. From this perspective, State of the Peoples ventures to trace out the contemporary continuity between environmental degeneration and cultural decline. It provides a collection of field reports that demonstrate how issues of human justice provide an appropriate perspective for understanding the consequences of social domination and ecological degradation
