Indigenous Australians and the Law

Bringing together a well-respected team of commentators, many of them indigenous Australians themselves, this revised and updated edition examines the legal, social and political developments that have take place in Australia since the publication of the last edition.Providing students with a greater understanding of the issues facing indigenous people in the hope of contributing to reconciliation, the authors explore a broad range of developments, including: the demise of ATSIC; the pursuit of the repatriation of Aboriginal items of importance; issues of indigenous governance and water rights.Giving readers an incisive account of the resounding impact of social, political and legal conditions upon iIndigenous people and their interaction with and recourse to the law, this book is an excellent resource for those interested in international law.Hinton, Martin is the author of 'Indigenous Australians and the Law ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781876905392 and ISBN 1876905395.
