Description
Dialogue about Land Justice provides a solid understanding for readers of the key issues around native title from the minds of leading thinkers, commentators and senior jurists. It consolidates 16 papers presented to the national Native Title Conference since the historic Mabo judgment. Taken together, these commentators tie native title to the fundamental issue of the place of Indigenous peoples within the Australian political and legal framework, and national identity. With contributions about New Zealand, the USA and development in the UN, it also provides a comparative understanding of international Indigenous land rights and interests.
Reviews
These men and women do justice to the legacy of Eddie's fight for title to his land, the land of the Mer people. . . . I think Eddie would be proud to see these contributors continue his fight. --Bonita Mabo, activist and wife of Eddie Mabo
