From the article:
Anthropologist Tess Lea has recently launched her remarkable new book, ‘Wild Policy: Indigeneity and the Unruly Logics of Intervention’. Drawing on her years in “the field”, which included being a lurker in the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program – until she was thrown out by a Commonwealth Minister, her many years working with Indigenous people, bureaucrats, and construction crews on Groote Eylandt, and helping to establish and work in the Karrabing Film Collective, Tess gives us a book that is totally enthralling.
