Reviews the above mentioned book which contains a social history of the Gunggari Aboriginal group located in South West Queensland and which outlines their struggle for land rights. Following the commencement of the British settlement of Australia in 1788 and the proclamation then of British Sovereignty over New South Wales (which at that time included the area of the subsequent state of Queensland), the land rights of Australian Aborigines were not recognized. Legal recognition has only been given to prior land ownership of some Australian Aboriginal groups in recent decades. The extent to which they have been able to obtain legal restitution of these rights has varied considerably and also the economic consequences for indigenous groups have been very unequal. The process of having their previous land rights legally recognized (and salvaging whatever rights have not been extinguished) has been a major struggle for Aboriginal groups. This book provides a valuable and balanced case study of social dynamics of this process. It is considered that this book deserves the attention of all who are interested in Indigenous affairs, both general readers and specialists in Australia, as well as elsewhere.
