Double-weighted statement

McHugh's "Aboriginal Title" is a major monograph accomplishing two distinct tasks - hence the request for double weighting. First, it provides a critical analysis of the development of law relating to aboriginal title and the application of common law principles, which has had fundamental impacts on indigenous land claims. Second, it deals with the evolving impact of aboriginal title in areas outside law: notably in history and anthropology. Reviews describe it as “beyond doubt a rich and fascinating contribution to the field”, “an important contribution to the field of indigenous studies”, and “an incredible synthesis of case law”.
