Petitioning for Land is the first book to examine the extent of
First Peoples political participation through the use of petitions.
Interpreting petitions as a continuous form of political
articulation, Karen O'Brien considers petitioning for recognition
of prior land ownership as a means by which to locate First Peoples
petitioning for change within the broader narrative of historical
and contemporary notions of justice. The book follows the story of
First Peoples' activism and shows how they actively reform
discourse to disseminate a self-determined reality through the act
of petitioning. It discloses how, through the petition, First
Peoples reject colonialism, even whilst working within its
confines. In a reconfiguration of discourse, they actively convey a
political or moral meaning to re-emerge in a self-determined world.
Taking a socio-legal and historical approach to petitioning, the
book questions the state domination of First Peoples, and charts
their political action against such control in the quest for
self-determination. By uniquely focusing on the act of petitioning,
which places First Peoples aspirants centre-stage, O'Brien presents
fresh and innovative perspectives concerning their political
enterprise. From early modern colonial occupation to contemporary
society, the hundreds of petitions that called for change are
uncovered in Petitioning for Land, shedding new light on the social
and political dynamics that drove the petitions.
