This highly topical collection of essays addresses contemporary
issues facing Indigenous communities from a broad range of multi-
and interdisciplinary perspectives. Drawing from across the social
sciences and humanities, this important volume challenges the
established norms, theories, and methodologies within the field,
and argues for the potential of a multidimensional approach to
solving problems of Indigenous justice. Stemming from an
international conference on 'Spaces of Indigenous Justice',
Indigenous Justice is richly illustrated with case studies and
comprises contributions from scholars working across the fields of
law, socio-legal studies, sociology, public policy, politico-legal
theory, and Indigenous studies. As such, the editors of this timely
and engaging volume draw upon a wide range of experience to argue
for a radical shift in how we engage with Indigenous studies.

This book employs critical theory to investigate the different
worldviews involved in an engagement with indigenous normativities,
and to suggest practical solutions for overcoming the systemic
inequalities between Indigenous and non-indigenous cultures.
Drawing upon recent conceptualisations of `spatial justice', the
book draws attention to those injustices masked by the operation of
the dominant legal culture. It then considers these as materially
contextualized, and constructs a foundation upon which to base new
problem-solving tools. Articulated in relation to four case
studies, the theoretical framework developed here is nevertheless
guided by a concern for its real-world, problem-solving,
application. As such, it will be of considerable interest, not just
to those carrying out scholarly work in the areas of spatial and
indigenous justice, but also to practitioners, activists, and
policy-makers working on indigenous issues.
