AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This is a valuable, carefully researched and engaging book that offers thoughtful insights into an important period in Aboriginal and wider Australian politics. The 1970s saw heated activity and many changes in the diverse settings of Aboriginal politics across the continent, including the varied areas of a large city like Sydney, so it is not surprising that this book cannot consider them all. The young activists in Redfern in the 1970s saw themselves as leading events right across the country, assuming a ‘pan-Aboriginality’ in which they felt comfortable speaking for others. Their self-assessment was inflated but nevertheless, as Perheentupa demonstrates, there were innovative and creative developments taking place in Redfern as Aboriginal people grappled with very new circumstances.'
