Opis

This book examines the anxiety that "well-intentioned" settler Australian women experience when engaging with Indigenous politics. Slater asks: why does Indigenous political will continue to provoke and disturb? How does settler anxiety inform public opinion and "solutions" to Indigenous inequality and issues of social justice?
