Nyoongar People of Australia: Perspectives on Racism and Multiculturalism


Add your own review!

Overview

This text is about the indigenous Nyoongar people of the south-west of Western Australia and their perspectives on racism, which has had a devastating effect on their lives and culture since colonization. It also looks at the multicultural policies that are effective in Australia. Rosemary van den Berg and those Nyoongars inverviewed give insight into Aboriginal lives. Their comments reveal how Nyoongar people survived the onslaught of colonialism, cultural genocide, the state government policies under which they were forced to exist, the ""stolen generations"" of children and the loss of their land, identity, culture and purpose in their lives. These people are currently fighting for equality and for recognition as being part of the oldest living culture in the world.
