Native Title for Sale?

by David Ritter

Fifteen years since the Mabo decision, agreements over resource development with Aboriginal people are entirely commonplace. Why and what does this mean?

In his new book The Native Title Market, David Ritter argues that the native title legislation has given rise to a de facto market place within which procedural rights are effectively being traded. Supported by insights from more than a decade of experience in the field, David will share his radical interpretation, challenging popular myths along the way.

The Native Title Market is published by UWA Publishing and is available from the University Co-op Bookstore.
