Social Welfare with Indigenous Peoples (Hardcover)

In many areas of the world, there has been an earlier indigenous population which has been conquered by a more recent population group. In "Social Welfare with Indigenous Peoples, " the editors and contributors examine the treatment of many indigenous populations from five continental areas: Africa (Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe); Australia, New Zealand; Central and South America (Brazil, Mexico); Europe (Scandinavia, Spain) and North America.
They found that regardless of whether the newer immigrants became the majority population, as in North America, or the minority population, such as in Africa, there were many similarities in how the indigenous peoples were treated and in their current situations. This treatment is examined from many perspectives: political subjugation; negligence; shifting focus on social policy; social and legal discrimination; provision of social services; and ethnic, cultural and political rejuvenation.
