Culture Crisis: Anthropology and Politics in Aboriginal Australia
Culture Crisis: Anthropology and Politics in Aboriginal Australia Edited Book
Abstract: Some of Australia's leading anthropologists put the Culture Wars under the microscope, dissecting the notion of difference and asking whether this is a useful way of looking at the problems remote Indigenous Australians face. An urgently needed dialogue, this book unflinchingly confronts the policies that have failed these communities and shows how the discipline of anthropology can still provide hope.
