Leon Terrill

Beyond Communal and Individual Ownership

Indigenous Land Reform in Australia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book-length study of recent Australian indigenous land rights reforms. The book explains how the reforms came about, what they do and their consequences for indigenous community residents. Drawing on international research, the book explains the need to move beyond concepts of communal and individual ownership in order to fully understand the consequences of these far reaching reforms. The book's fresh perspective on land reform and careful assessment of key land reform theories will be of interest to scholars of indigenous land rights, land law and aboriginal culture not only in Australia but also in any other country with an interest in indigenous land rights.
