Lessons from the Past: Education and Racism in Australia.

Dunn, Myra

Education in Rural Australia, v11 n1 p62-73 2001

The history of racism in Australia is inextricably linked with prevailing ideologies of rural Australia, supported strongly by educational discourses of deficit and disadvantage. A challenge for the Reconciliation Movement will be to make an effective contribution to the development of anti-racist and non-racist practices in rural schooling. (Contains 54 references.)
