This timely collection of articles explores some of the most pressing issues confronting both Australia's Indigenous peoples and Australia as a nation. In the current period of economic strength, Indigenous peoples have found themselves increasingly struggling to develop economic opportunities and to ensure the viability of their social and cultural lives.

This volume brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors from a range of disciplines and experiences. Focusing primarily on remote Australia, they bring together a whole range of issues and concerns that need to be addressed.

The articles are from the proceedings of a workshop of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia held at the University of Õ¬Äе¼º½, 30 November to 1 December 2004.


Diane Austin-Broos is professor emerita of anthropology at the University of Õ¬Äе¼º½.
