ABORIGINAL RIGHTS ARE NOT HUMAN RIGHTS
KULCHYSKI, PETER
Aboriginal rights are often assumed to belong to the broader category of human rights; Kulchyski makes a
powerful argument against this. On the contrary, indigenous people across the world need specific rights in part
to balance against the universalist core of human rights. This book provides conceptual and historical analyses
distinguishing aboriginal rights from human rights. It shows how aboriginal rights result from the struggles of
native peoples. It traces the development of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,
the Aboriginal rights provisions of the Constitution of Canada and pertinent Canadian legal decisions. While not a
critique of the universalistic nature and European origins of human rights, Kulchyski shows how the effective use
of aboriginal rights necessitates a clear understanding of their unique nature. The book includes additional
essays on related themes demonstrating how knowledge of aboriginal rights is critical to socialist practice,
highlighting how specific Canadian struggles can be understood through the lens of aboriginal rights.

AC/DC: THE BIOGRAPHY
WALL, MICK
AC/DC moved to Britain from Sydney in 1975, and soon set up a residency at London's Marquee Club. Their
short hair (including the odd mullet), loud rock and attitude chimed well with the lingering pub rock and soon-tobe
punk crowd. They weren't really a band for guitar solos, and singer Bon Scott was the original bike-riding,
speed-snorting, fighting man. An ex-convict he lived life fast and short; he died in February 1980, just before
BACK IN BLACK, their huge-selling album, took off, and the second period of AC/DC (with Brian Johnson as
lead vocalist) was ushered in. Mick Wall, the don of heavy metal writing, seeks to penetrate the wall around the
Young brothers, and write the first authoritative, in-depth critical account of AC/DC.
