Carsten Wergins book, rooted in extensive research, emphasizes the central role of Indigeneity and the recognition of Aboriginal heritage values by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous protestors in resource debates. Wergin offers a groundbreaking contribution to the field, paving the way for a vision of a decolonized Australia in a post-resources boom era.
