In this national bestseller Robert Mane attacks the right-wing
campaign against the Bringing them home report that revealed how
thousands of Aborigines had been taken from their parents. What was
the role of Paddy McGuinness as editor of Quadrant? How reliable
was the evidence that led newspaper columnists from Piers Akerman
in the Sydney Daily Telegraph to Andrew Bolt in the Melbourne
Herald Sun to deny the gravity of the injustice done? In a powerful
indictment of past government policies towards the Aborigines,
Robert Manne has written a brilliant polemical essay which doubles
as a succinct history of how Aborigines were mistreated and an
exposure of the ignorance of those who want to deny that history.
'In Denial is not a book of history. It is a political
intervention. By holding an influential section of the Right to
account-Manne was exercising the kind of responsibility often
demanded of public intellectuals.' - Raimond Gaita 'In complex
intellectual conflicts, there will always be argument about whether
the antagonists are committed to finding the truth or to winning
the battle. This essay tells us that Robert Manne is intent on
finding the truth.' - Morag Fraser 'In Denial is a work of both the
head and the heart. It is carefully researched and powerfully
expressed. It needs to be widely read.' - The Hon. P.J Keating 6
April 2001 'Robert Manne has made an important contribution to the
continuing debate and in doing so has helped launch a new and
important venture.' - Henry Reynolds
