Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), spine background colour faded jacket, minor edgewear. 163 pp. Aborigines who come to Brisbane from settlements and small country towns face the problems of rapid urbanisation - housing, employment, education, morale. They have had previous experience of white Australian society, but little of the social institutions that white Australians take for granted. In Brisbane, these social institutions and their agencies are available, yet Aborigines do not take advantage of them, partly because of their past lack of experience, and partly because they do not always see such institutions as compatible with their life styles. Encourages Aborigines to use the existing social institutions and create new ones to meet their ends. Seller Inventory # 11452

?Look Forward, Not Back: Aborigines in Metropolitan Brisbane, 1965-1966 by Hazel M. Smith and Ellen H. Biddle is a sociological study examining the experiences of Aboriginal Australians who migrated from rural settlements to Brisbane during the mid-1960s. The book explores the challenges these individuals faced in adapting to urban life, including issues related to housing, employment, education, and social integration. It highlights the difficulties encountered in accessing and utilizing social institutions that were often unfamiliar or perceived as incompatible with their cultural backgrounds. Through this analysis, the authors shed light on the complexities of urbanization for Aboriginal communities and the need for supportive structures that acknowledge and respect their unique cultural identities. In our PearlPress Store we have an extensive range of other new and pre owned books by First Nations Australians, books about Indigenous Australia and on Aboriginal Themes and History since European arrival.
