Indigenous studies reading list

Abstract

This reading list brings together influential scholarship, by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers, that critically examines the operations of settler colonialism and its impact on Indigenous peoples.

This reading list provides a foundation of scholarship for those seeking to develop a critical understanding of indigeneity and racism, and their intersections within law and society, with a focus on Australian and comparative contexts. The works compiled here represent what I consider to be essential contributions from Indigenous and allied scholars who have shaped contemporary thinking about sovereignty, decolonisation, legal systems, and the ongoing impacts of settler colonialism on Indigenous peoples.

To understand issues of indigeneity and racism requires engaging with scholarship that centres Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and methodologies. The readings gathered here challenge dominant narratives and colonial frameworks that have historically marginalised Indigenous peoples and their legal traditions. They offer crucial insights into how law has functioned as both an instrument of dispossession and a potential site of resistance and self-determination. From texts on Indigenous sovereignty and standpoint theory to contemporary work on Indigenous futurisms and refusal, this collection spans theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches to understanding Indigenous experiences and critiques of settler colonial systems.

The list encompasses several key thematic areas. Scholars such as Aileen Moreton-Robinson (Goenpul, Quandamooka), Irene Watson (Tanganekald and Meintangk), and Ambelin Kwaymullina (Palyku) provide critical analyses of sovereignty, the pervasive positioning of patriarchal whiteness, and the operations of Australian law in relation to Indigenous peoples. Works on Indigenous research methodologies by Linda Tuhiwai Smith (Ngāti Awa and Ngāti Porou), Martin Nakata (Torres Strait Islands), and Lester-Irabinna Rigney (Narungga, Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri) offer essential frameworks for ethical and culturally appropriate engagement with Indigenous knowledges. Feminist and intersectional analyses by Larissa Behrendt (Euahlayi/Kamilaroi), Eve Tuck (Unangx̂), Chelsea Watego (Munanjahli and South Sea Islander), Amy McQuire (Darumbal and South Sea Islander) and others illuminate how colonialism, racism and patriarchy operate together to marginalise Indigenous women and gender-diverse people. The collection also includes important contributions on Indigenous resistance, resurgence and futurities, demonstrating how Indigenous peoples continue to assert their sovereignty and imagine decolonial futures.

While the list centres Australian Indigenous scholarship, it also includes significant works from other settler colonial contexts, particularly North America, recognising the value of comparative and transnational Indigenous studies. These readings engage with questions of land, governance, representation, knowledge production and the ongoing violence of settler colonialism. They challenge readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the foundations of Australian and other settler societies, while also highlighting Indigenous agency, creativity and resilience.

This reading list is intended as a starting point rather than an exhaustive resource. It is designed for legal scholars and students, practitioners, policymakers and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of how law and society are implicated in ongoing colonial violence and how Indigenous peoples have theorised and resisted these structures. Engaging seriously with this scholarship requires a willingness to question fundamental assumptions about law, sovereignty, knowledge and justice. It demands that non-Indigenous readers sit with discomfort and recognise their own positioning within settler colonial systems.

The works included here should be approached with respect for the intellectual labour and lived experiences they represent. Many of these scholars write from positions of both expertise and personal experience of colonisation and racism. Their contributions are not merely academic exercises, but interventions aimed at transforming oppressive systems and advancing Indigenous self-determination. Readers are encouraged to engage with these texts critically and reflexively, considering how the insights offered might inform more just and equitable approaches to law, policy and social relations.
