Book description
In A fatal conjunction Kimm discusses the extent and nature of the high levels of violence experienced by Aboriginal women in their own communities. She explores its underlying causes, current policies that deal with it, and changes that may improve these policies. Kimm argues that current law and policy place too much emphasis on Aboriginal women's rights as Indigenous people and too little on their rights as women.
