The book includes an account and analysis of the court case, interviews with the parties involved, and an analysis of the media response to the case. The book asks: what does this case tell us about who we are as a society today? Although indigenous issues will be a part of the book, this is not a general study of Aboriginal politics. Rather, it looks at issues in the community as they relate specifically to this case."--Provided by publisher Analysis Aboriginal women Cases (Law) Clark, Geoff Media bias Rape Trials Notes End notes: pg. 209-212 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Clark, Geoffrey James -- Trials, litigation, etc. Clark, Geoffrey James.
