Reviews
Peter H. Russell, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto and author of Recognizing Aboriginal Title:
This book has impressive scholarly depth, and in a systematic and challenging way makes a major contribution to understanding and assessing the Supreme Court’s decision-making with respect to Aboriginal peoples in the quarter century since Aboriginal and treaty rights have been formally recognized in Canada’s Constitution.
