The 1970s saw the Aboriginal people of Australia struggle for
recognition of their postcolonial rights. Rural communities, where
large Aboriginal populations lived, were provoked as a consequence
of social fragmentation, unparalleled unemployment, and other major
economic and political changes. The ensuing riots, protests, and
law-and-order campaigns in New South Wales captured the tense
relations that existed between indigenous people, the police, and
the criminal justice system. In Protests, Land Rights, and Riots,
Barry Morris shows how neoliberal policies in Australia targeted
those who were least integrated socially and culturally, and who
enjoyed fewer legitimate economic opportunities. Amidst intense
political debate, struggle, and conflict, new forces were unleashed
as a post-settler colonial state grappled with its past. Morris
provides a social analysis of the ensuing effects of neoliberal
policy and the way indigenous rights were subsequently undermined
by this emerging new political orthodoxy in the 1990s.
