Product Description

Product Description

The "Mabo" decision of the High Court of Australia has provoked controversy as well as a sense of crisis in contemporary Australia. The ruling has wider implications than its relatively obvious legal and economic ones. This text considers the profound cultural and political consequences of "Mabo", which are sure to shape Australia's future beyond the end of this century, contributing to the debates about national identity. It includes chapters by leading historians, including Richard Broome, Rosemary Hunter, Jane Jacobs, Andrew Markus, Bain Atwood, Patrick Wolfe and Henry Reynolds.
