Aboriginal Politics
Author: Fletcher, Christine
ISBN: 9780522844733
Publisher: Melbourne University Publishing
Year first published: 31 May 1988
Pages: 184
Format: Paperback / softback
The true extent of the political role and activities of remote Aboriginal communities is largely unreported and unknown, primarily due to a lack of understanding about Aboriginal society. The myth of Aboriginal people as simply passive welfare recipients remains dominant. Aboriginal Politics examines Aboriginal interaction with a wide range of agencies at all levels of government. It gives, for the first time, equal emphasis to the importance of each of those levels, and it also takes into account government to government dealings.
