Publication: Culture Crisis - Anthropology and Politics in Aboriginal Australia

 

Culture Crisis Anthropology and Politics in Aboriginal Australia, edited by Jon Altman and Melinda Hinkson, UNSW Press, September 2010

Culture CrisisIn 2007 the Australian government declared that remote Aboriginal communities were in crisis and launched the Northern Territory Intervention. This dramatic move occurred against a backdrop of vigorous debate among policy makers, academics, commentators and Aboriginal people about the apparent failure of self-determination.

In Culture Crisis, leading anthropologists put these ‘culture wars’ under the microscope. They consider anthropology’s legacy in informing and provoking policy change and public understanding of cultural difference.
