This Palgrave Pivot strives to recount and understand Indigenous
Law, as set within a remote community in northern Australia. It
pays close attention to the realpolitik and high-level political
functioning of Indigenous Laws, which inspires a discussion of how
this Law models the relational, influences governance and
emplaces people in an ordered kincentric lifeworld. The book argues
that Indigenous Law can be examined for the ways in which it is a
deliberate, stabilizing and powerful force to maintain communal
order in relation to Country, a counter framing to popular and
‘soft law or soft power asset’ visions of such Laws often held
in the national and international imaginary. It is the latter which
too often renders this knowledge esoteric and relinquishes it to a
category of lore or folklore. This is an open access book.
