The Colonial Fantasy: Why White Australia Can't Solve Black Problems

Meer over het boek

The book critiques Australia's ongoing detrimental impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through various government policies. It highlights the failure of these approaches to enhance Indigenous lives and argues that the belief in state collaboration is misguided. The author posits that the root of the issue lies in white Australia's inability to address black problems and emphasizes the need for Indigenous people to gain control over their own lives. A radical restructuring of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is advocated to effect real change.
