Belonging Together
Dealing with the politics of disenchantment in Australian Indigenous Policy

Patrick Sullivan

RRP $39.95 incl. GST

Belonging Together provides a unique overview of the trajectory of current Indigenous policy, with Sullivan advancing a new consolidated approach to Indigenous policy which moves beyond the debate over self-determination and assimilation. Instead, he suggests that the interests of Indigenous peoples, settlers and immigrants are fundamentally shared, and proposes adaptation on both sides, but particularly for the descendants of settlers and immigrants, to allow them to embrace the framing of their identity by and Indigenous presence.
