Aboriginal Land Rights: Action Booklet. Redfern, N.S.W., Aboriginal Land Rights Campaign, 1976. Pp. 23.
In August 1976 a National Aboriginal Land Rights Conference met in Sydney. The aim was to study the implications of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Bill, 1976 and to determine what action needed to be taken to oppose unacceptable aspects of the Bill. This action handbook sets out the grounds for opposition and the reasons underlying it. With land rights an important issue at present for any Aborigines, this booklet is a useful statement of some of the issues involved.

The Commission tried to discover the aspirations towards land ownership of a wide variety of Aboriginal groups. The document sets out, in clear and precise language, all the relevant information on which the Commission based its recommendations. This information is most valuable.

EAMES, G. Land Rights or a Sell Out? An Analysis of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Bill 1976. Alice Springs, Central Land Council. Pp. 18.
The paper is a comparative analysis of the Aboriginal Land Rights Bill passed by Federal Parliament in December 1976 with forty-two amendments. The author argues that the Bill can be seen as an attempt to drive a wedge between traditionally oriented Aborigines in the Territory and other Aboriginal groups, and that the government has acceded to pressure from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly and Mining and Pastoral interests.

TOBIN, P. Aboriginal Land Rights in N .S .W .: Demands, Law and Policy. Carlton, Vic., Abschol. Pp. 53.
A great deal of work has gone into this attempt to document the basis for land claims in N.S.W. The Aboriginal people on some of the twelve reserves visited by three Aborigines and the writer express their concepts of their rights and their needs in relation to land. Also of great value are the two sections dealing with the position of Aboriginal land claims with respect to land. Although not stated, it is evident that the material was prepared prior to 1972 which immediately dates some of it — for example the section titled 'Current N.S.W. Government Policy towards Aboriginal Reserves'. There remains, however, much that is useful and, as the author intended, it will provide N.S.W. Aborigines with an information resource about land claims. There are a number of annoying printing errors in the text.

Prejudice and Xenophobia (vol. 1) looks at the nature of race and racism and analyses the Australian situation mainly in terms of the migrant population. Black versus White (vol. 2) deals with the nation's treatment of Aborigines particularly the parameters of the conflict, the law, politics, economics and education. The third volume, Colonialism, moves into the international sphere and is concerned with Australia and the Empire, Papua New Guinea and Africa. An important collection of papers.

This is an important case because the Supreme Court argued that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires the elimination of artificial, arbitrary, and unnecessary barriers to employment that operate invidiously to discriminate on the basis of race. If an employment practice that operates to exclude Negroes cannot be shown to be related to job performance, it is prohibited, notwithstanding the employer's lack of discriminatory intent.

The human right discussed here is the 'right of women to protection of dignity and honour as well as protection against rape during armed conflict'. A conclusion is drawn that the right of women to their dignity and honour is a fundamental, substantive, legal right. In time of war women retain their right to dignity and honour. Rape of women is a negation of such a right. States are committed to defend this right irrespective of whether a war is just or unjust.
