- Summary:
-
This is the memoir of Barrie Dexter about his decade from 1967 as Australia{u2019}s most senior Indigenous policy-maker. This book offers an extraordinary insight into the commonwealth{u2019}s policy and political responses to the 1967 referendum and to the political class{u2019}s early (often bigoted) attitudes towards Indigenous Australians. It covers the rise of Aboriginal activism, including the establishment and violent police move against the Canberra tent embassy in 1972 and the emergence of the black power movement to which Foley was central.
