Indigenous People, Crime and Punishment examines criminal
sentencing courts' changing characterisations of Indigenous
peoples' identity, culture and postcolonial status. Focusing
largely on Australian Indigenous peoples, but referring also to the
Canadian and New Zealand experiences, Thalia Anthony critically
analyzes how the judiciary have interpreted Indigenous difference.
Through an analysis of Indigenous sentencing decisions and remarks
over a fifty year period in a number of jurisdictions, the book
demonstrates how discretion is moulded to cultural assumptions
about Indigeneity. More specifically, Indigenous People, Crime and
Punishment shows how the increasing demonisation of Indigenous
criminality and culture in sentencing has turned earlier 'gains' in
the legal recognition of Indigenous peoples on their head. The
recognition of Indigenous difference is thereby revealed as a
pliable concept that is just as likely to remove rights as it is to
grant them.
