Description
Like other titles in the "Australian Experience" series, this book is a succinct survey of a major theme in Australian history. In this case, Markus focuses on ideas of race and the history of race relations. The book covers the dispossession of the Aborigines, relations with European and other immigrants to 1890, the white Australia policy and its impact on Aborigines and immigrants to 1990, the impact of World War II, and policy and practice for the present day, including the multiculturalism debate.
