In 1991 Australia instigated a national reconciliation project
between indigenous and non-indigenous people. Despite being the
longest-running reconciliation process, there has been no
authoritative study of Australian reconciliation to date.
Reconciliation and Colonial Power is the first book to analyze
Australian reconciliation as a process, filling a significant gap
in theoretical and empirical understanding. Damien Short offers a
sociological interpretation of this process which suggests that,
rather than being a genuine attempt at atonement, Australian
reconciliation is perhaps better understood as the latest stage in
the colonial project. He considers the relevance of acknowledgement
and apology, restitution and rights, nation building and state
legitimacy to the reconciliation project. This work compliments the
burgeoning literature on reconciliation theory and practice and
provides fertile material for comparisons with reconciliation
processes in other countries such as Chile and South Africa.
