As a Matter of Fact
ATSIC has compiled 'As a Matter of Fact' in order to help achieve a more enlightened public debate, and to counter the 'myths' and misconceptions that too frequently substitute for knowledge in the area of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs. It brings together facts and figures, and interpretations from an indigenous perspective, that have never been published in one place. Contents: 1. HISTORY - Aboriginal history is not Australian history - There's no point in dwelling on the past - what's done is done 2. FUNDING - There's too much money thrown at Indigenous affairs! - Indigenous people get special treatment from governments - Nothing has got better. Why throw away good money af...
Indigenous Self-Determination in Australia
Histories of the colonisation of Australia have recognised distinct periods or eras in the colonial relationship: ‘protection’ and ‘assimilation’. It is widely understood that, in 1973, the Whitlam Government initiated a new policy era: ‘self-determination’. Yet, the defining features of this era, as well as how, why and when it ended, are far from clear. In this collection we ask: how shall we write the history of self-determination? How should we bring together, in the one narrative, innovations in public policy and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander initiatives? How (dis)continuous has ‘self-determination’ been with ‘assimilation’ or with what came after? Among the ...
Australia's Rural, Remote and Indigenous Health
Australia's Rural, Remote and Indigenous Health 3e is a practical guide to the delivery of health care in rural and remote Australia. Drawing on personal experiences of rural and remote practitioners, historical accounts, literature analysis and epidemiology, this frank and engaging text examines the economic, social and political forces that shape healthcare in rural and remote Australia. With limited current resources to support studies in rural and remote healthcare, this title bridges the gap by offering valuable insights into Indigenous life and social determinants of health through the use of storytelling. It is the perfect guide for anyone working in or planning to work in rural, remo...
Dealing with Alcohol
The devastating impact of alcohol on indigenous populations is well known, but debate often overlooks the broad context of the problem and the priorities of indigenous people themselves. This book was written with the desire to improve the level of informed debate, and lead to constructive action. It aims to provide readers with a coherent explanation of alcohol misuse among indigenous peoples in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The extensive health, economic, social and cultural consequences of misuse are described in the words of the indigenous people themselves. The book found that patterns of indigenous alcohol consumption could not be understood in isolation from the impact of European colonialism and its continuing consequences. Its authors argue that our understanding of alcohol misuse needs to be reconceptualised and structural inequalities addressed.
