Klappentext

The claims made by the N.S.W. Government for the Aboriginal land Rights Act of 1983 are that it compensates Aborigines for the loss of their lands, that it grants land rights to Aborigines in the State, and that it implements a policy of self-determination. This important book shows that these claims are fals. The Act does not grant land rights; it provides machinery by which Aborigines may in some circumstances acquire some land - relatively little, and not necessarily of the kinds they want. It conceives of land as an economic base, not as a cultural asset and a social necessity for Aborigines. Also, although ownership of Aboriginal land under the Act will be local. or at community level, these communities in the form of the Local Aboriginal Land Councils are not free to use the land as they determine. This book is a fully documented, forceful yet careful demolition of the exaggerated claims of the Government for this Act.
