'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians
just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus,
1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia,
yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old
continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race, by the end of
the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to
vote, to determine where their families would live and to maintain
their cultural traditions.In this groundbreaking work, Bain Attwood
charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in
Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and
history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of
campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their
involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and
documentary sources, he investigates how they found enough common
ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal
people.Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race,
history, political and social rights that are central to our
understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
Australians.
