Description

In the last decade of the 20th century, racial issues became very prominent in Australian public life, moving from fringe to centre stage. This text seeks to explain this change and to make sense of this issue's increasingly disturbing profile in modern Australian life. Chapters include coverage of Aboriginal land rights, the treatment of asylum seekers, and the fate of reconciliation.
