An Unruly Child
A History Of Law In Australia
di Bruce Kercher
Editore: Taylor & Francis Ltd
EAN: 9780367717407
ISBN: 0367717409
Pagine: 272
Formato: Hardback
'This is a provocative re-examination of our legal history appearing at a time when Australians are reconsidering both their past and their future.' - The Hon. Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG, President of the New South Wales Court of Appeal
The imperial view of Australian law was that it was a weak derivative of English law. In An Unruly Child, Bruce Kercher rewrites history. He reveals that since 1788 there has been a contest between the received legal wisdom of Mother England and her sometimes unruly offspring. The resulting law often suited local interests, but was not always more just.
Kercher also shows that law has played a major role in Australian social history. From the convict settlements and the Eureka stockade in the early years to the Harvester Judgement, the White Australia Policy and most recently the Mabo case, central themes of Australian history have been framed by the legal system.
An Unruly Child is a groundbreaking work which will influence our understanding of Australia's history and its legal system.
