AustLit

'It’s Our Country contains essays by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal specialists, academics and business and community leaders. Each sets out their view on meaningful constitutional recognition, and “their visions for reform”. The book is edited by Megan Davis, director of the University of NSW law school, and Marcia Langton, foundation chair of Australian indigenous studies at the University of Melbourne. It’s closely argued, well written and often graphic (“the airtight cage of poverty”), as befits “polities” (nations) of poetic storytellers. ...'
