      abstract = {This book explores storytelling as an innovative means of  improving understanding of Indigenous people and their  histories and struggles including with the law. It uses the  Critical Race Theory (CRT) tool of outsider or counter  storytelling to illuminate the practices that have been  used by generations of Aboriginal women to create an outlaw  culture and to resist their invisibility to law. Legal  scholars are yet to use storytelling to bring the  experiential knowledge of Aboriginal women to the centre of  legal scholarship and yet this book demonstrates how this  can be done by way of a new methodology that combines  elements of CRT with speculative biography. In one chapter,  the author tells the imagined story of Eliza Woree who  featured prominently in the backdrop to the decision of the  Supreme Court of Queensland in Dempsey v Rigg (1914) but  whose voice was erased from the judgements. This accessible  book adds a new and innovative dimension to the use of CRT  to examine the nexus between race and settler colonialism.  It speaks to those interested in Indigenous peoples and the  law, Indigenous studies, Indigenous policy, Aboriginal and  Torres Strait Islander history, feminist studies, race and  the law, and cultural studies. Nicole Watson is an  Aboriginal scholar from Queensland, who is descended from  the Munanjali and Birri Gubba Peoples. She is a published  novelist and a former columnist with the National  Indigenous Times. Nicole is currently employed as the  Director of the Academic Unit, Nura Gili Centre for  Indigenous Programs, University of New South Wales.},
