Critics Review

In this timely and insightful novel, Dylan Lino sets out to answer the questions of what does the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples mean and what can it be expected to achieve. Lino’s answers to those questions are both well-argued and nuanced. … Lino combines detailed historical research with an exploration of theoretical concepts to make a striking and original contribution to the debate about constitutional recognition, making this book a must read for all of those with an interest in the area. - Queensland Law Reporter - 18 October 2019 - [2019] 41 QLR 7
