Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Contemporary attitudes of white Australians to Aboriginal people are grounded in our colonial past and in how settlement created inequality between colonisers and colonies. Differences were then interpreted as based on race.

In this study, Mary Edmunds examines how attitudes are formed, maintained and reproduced within the context of continuing inequality. She examines the impact on one community - Roebourne, Western Australia, of the pastoral and mining industries and how political and planning decisions have enshrined racial differences at all levels of ordinary living.

She looks at the role of government bureaucracy, local government, the police and courts, the media, and the day-to-day community practices that further entrench the social distances between the black and white communities. (back cover)
