Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the complexities of well-intentioned efforts by a group of white, middle-class professionals in Australia to aid Indigenous communities, the book delves into the challenges of navigating equality and cultural distinctiveness. It highlights the contradictions faced by 'white anti-racists' and examines the broader postcolonial dilemmas that arise from attempts to 'close the gap' while preserving Indigenous identity. By analyzing these tensions, the narrative sheds light on the difficulties of effective development and proposes alternative approaches for meaningful change.
