Description

Native title has dramatically altered the law and public policy in Australia. It has had a fundamental impact on social relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, and the courts have played a central role in its development and continue to do so. Compromised Jurisprudence established itself as a well-priced and accessible introduction to the subject of native title. This revised edition is the most up-to-date book on the subject.
