ISBN: 1862875596 ISBN-13: 9781862875593 Publisher: Federation Press OUR PRICE: $27.23 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2005 Annotation: Australias first peoples are on the lowest rung of our society and are largely locked out of the wealth of a very affluent country. This book takes a fresh, practical look at whether modern treaty-making between Indigenous peoples and government in Australia is feasible and whether a treaty could help Australia solve some of these practical problems as well as problems of principle. In doing so, it looks at the successes and failures of treaties in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Treaty challenges readers to take seriously the question whether, after the Mabo case and the Reconciliation movement, Australia too should go down the treaty path. |
