Abstract

Book review. Reading these two books side by side makes one aware of the different ways that Aboriginal people have pursued political struggle; to read them together is also to be reminded of the different ways of writing political history. Both books are about Aboriginal public policy and the challenges of Aboriginal activism, and both have something to say about the difference between Aboriginal forms of collective action and the norms of Australian governance.
