Wild Policy - (Anthropology of Policy) by Tess Lea (Paperback)

Wild Policy is a groundbreaking book that delves into the complexities of Indigenous policy in regional and remote Australia.

Tess Lea offers a unique perspective on how policies targeting "wild people" are not only ineffective but also harmful, perpetuating enduring inequality and colonial legacies.

Through case studies across housing, infrastructure, health, governance, and land tenure, Lea reveals the short-term political interests that drive policy decisions and their unpredictable consequences.

Despite the challenges, Wild Policy provides a layered, multi-relational approach called policy ecology to offer solutions for addressing these issues.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Indigenous policy and finding ways to create positive change.
