'Sharing Spaces addresses, from a multidisciplinary perspective, the way in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia negotiate their social, local and intellectual spaces. The collection of papers is a product of the Sharing the Space Conference held on Kaurna land at Flinders University in South Australia in July 2002. The book reflects the collaborative expertise of indigenous and non-Indigenous people from fields ranging from history to cultural studies, visual arts to law, heritage management, literature, linguistics, education and Aboriginal studies. Such varied participation contributes to the general objective of the book, which attempts to make sense of the complex relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people through time and across issues. This multiplicity of voices grants the book a unique character.'
