I have never made so many notes and points of disagreement about a book - perhaps 200 in this 250 pager.
Clearly passionate, and in many ways rewarding from an enthusiastic researcher (and really nice guy on a personal level) - but as a complete book it drives me mad. Rather than outline my 200 disagreements - I will say that this book is absolutely worth reading - but it should be done with a critical mind. The depiction of Indigenous points of view are very selective indeed.
But I do like the guy...
