Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
• Foreword -- Introduction -- Part 1: Reconciliation and its alternatives: Australia and international context -- Part 2: Political challenges for reconciliation in Australia: past, present, and future -- Part 3: Non-Indigenous understandings of the challenge to engage -- Part 4: Strategic options in policy and scholarship -- Conclusions.
• This book investigates whether and how reconciliation in Australia and other settler colonial societies might connect to the attitudes of non-Indigenous people in ways that promote a deeper engagement with Indigenous needs and aspirations. It explores concepts and practices of reconciliation, considering the structural and attitudinal limits to such efforts in settler colonial countries. Bringing together contributions by the world’s leading experts on settler colonialism and the politics of reconciliation, it complements current research approaches to the problems of responsibility and engagement between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples.
