This book outlines the evolution of native title in Australia in case commentaries beginning with Mabo v. Queensland in 1992, which upheld the Meriam people's rights to land under their own law. Strelein considers primarily the theoretical foundations of native title and the development of the courts' thinking on the subject up to the High Court decisions in 2002 in Western Australia v. Ward and Yorta Yorta. Each chapter is an analysis of cases during this period, concluding with an overview chapter of native title as a legal concept, its fundamental themes, and contradictions regarding the law. Many of the commentaries were published in the AIATSIS native title Issues Papers and Newsletters, and have been revised and/or combined with new material here. Strelein is the manager and research fellow of the Native Title Research Unit, AIATSIS, in Australia. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
