Racism in Australia. Reynolds, Hirst, Brett and Hage

Henry Reynolds, leading historian of indigenous dispossession, John Hirst, Australia’s leading political historian, Judith Brett, Professor of Politics at La Trobe, and Ghassan Hage, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Melbourne, debate the meaning and extent of racism in Australia. This stellar line-up addresses, amongst many other things, the recent re-emergence of the \u27boat people\u27 issue; the Cronulla riots; the history of racism in Australia; and its legacy in the form of contemporary indigenous disadvantage.
