One Land, One Nation: Mabo, Towards 2001

AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL

  This is a bold account told from the vantage point of a social justice activist who has been an insider in indigenous law making. In conversational style Brennan describes the backroom negotiations, stalled promises and groundbreaking legislation of recent history. He steers us beyond the complexities of Mabo and native title towards the year 2001 and constitutional reform.
