‘Due inheritance’, Egan, T. 2008. Niblock Publishing, Nightcliff

Former NT Administrator Egan looks at government policies in relation to aboriginal people and communities such as the ‘intervention’ and various initiatives like education and health.  He identifies issues with their success and factors influencing their implementation but goes one step further and offers alternatives to what government has decreed.  This book is a great starting point for those interested in the many issues surrounding aboriginal people and communities and interactions with mainstream society.
