It details how our Constitution was drafted, and shows how Aboriginal peoples came to be excluded from the new political settlement. It explains what the 1967 referendum - in which over 90% of Australians voted to delete discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from the Constitution - achieved and why discriminatory racial references remain. With clarity and authority the book shows the symbolic and legal power of such a change and how we might get there. Concise and clear, it is written by two of the best-known experts in the country on matters legal, indigenous and constitutional. Recognise is essential reading on what should be a watershed occasion for our nation.Aboriginal AustraliansAustraliaConstitutional historyAustraliaReferendumAustraliaHistoryElectronic books.Aboriginal AustraliansConstitutional historyReferendumHistory.328.294021Davis Megan978452Williams George MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460379503321Everything you need to know about the referendum to recognise indigenous Australians2229878UNINA
