Syllabus
This unit presents an overview of Australia's history. Colonisation and the political and social consequences for Indigenous Australians, leading to the current state of prejudice in Indigenous and non Indigenous relations will be exposed and analysed. The international context of domestic developments is also considered. The subject will concentrate on colonisation, imperialism and neo-colonisation in a political context. Particular attention will be given to current Federal Government policies and how these policies assimilate, inhibit or improve the aspirations of self determination for Indigenous Australians in the areas of health, education, native title, law, justice and cultural heritage.
