Constitutional recognition :
1. Introduction -- 2. The constitutional politics of Indigenous recognition in Australia, 1979-2018 -- 3. Conceptualising constitutional recognition -- 4. Constitutionalising Indigenous recognition -- 5. The incompleteness of Indigenous constitutional recognition: learning from 1967 -- 6. Indigenous constitutional recognition and racial discrimination: learning from 1975 -- 7. Constitutionally recognising Indigenous peoplehood: towards Indigenous-settler federalism -- 8. Conclusion. "Offering more than a legal analysis, Lino places the idea of constitutional recognition into a broader historical and theoretical perspective. After recounting the history of Australian debates on Indigenous recognition, the book presents an account that views constitutional recognition in terms of Indigenous peoples' struggles to have their identities respected within the settler constitutional order. When studied in this way, constitutional recognition emerges not as a postcolonial endpoint but as an ongoing process of renegotiating the basic Indigenous-settler political relationship." - Back cover. Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-306) and index.
