What is The Law Of The Land about?
" ... When it was first published in 1987, The Law of the Land reassessed the legal and political arguments traditionally used to justify European settlement of Australia. Henry Reynolds argued compellingly that the British government in fact conceded land rights to the Aborigines early in the nineteenth century In rejecting the concept of terra nullius in the historic Mabo case of 1992, the High Court of Australia effectively verified Henry Reynolds's conclusions on the issue of native title. Now updated to cover the Mabo judgement, the Wik decision of 1996 and subsequent developments, Reynolds's remarkable and seminal work remains central to the race debate in Australia." [Back cover]
