It is fascinating reading for all those who feel that there is an enormous gap between western-type (post)colonial thinking and its law and the law and cosmovision that once governed the life of what came to be called indigenous peoples. Andre Hoekema, Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law """As a non-Indigenous person who has benefitted from the colonial legal system, Raw Law offers a very direct and personal challenge to rethink my relationship to this country, to recognise the muldarbi of colonialism, and my contribution to it, and to be prepared to shed my clothes and learn from the ancient stories that formed the world."" - Associate Professor Alexander Reilly, University of Adelaide" The book is well written, clear in its purposes and through its style conveys an image of a world that was (nearly) lost. It is fascinating reading for all those who feel that there is an enormous gap between western-type (post)colonial thinking and its law and the law and cosmovision that once governed the life of what came to be called indigenous peoples. Andre Hoekema, Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law The great strength of Raw Law is that it puts Aboriginal law at the centre, and on the inside. It explains concepts that are foreign to colonial law, and yet which must be understood for there to be any hope of a common future for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Associate Professor Alexander Reilly, University of Adelaide Author InformationIrene Watson is a Professor of Law at the University of South Australia and has published extensively on the impact of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples as subject/objects in international law.
