"This text is about the indigenous Nyoongar people of the southwest of Western Australia and their perspectives on racism, which has had a devastating effect on their lives and culture since colonisation. It is also about the multi-cultural policies that are effective in Australia." "The author, and those Nyoongars interviewed, give valuable insight into Aboriginal lives. Their comments reveal how Nyoongar people survived the onslaught of colonialism, cultural genocide, the horrendous 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. Presently, they are fighting for equality and for recognition as being part of the oldest living culture in the world, that of the Australian Aborigines."--Jacket.
