Racism in Australia. Reynolds, Hirst, Brett, Hage

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Henry Reynolds, leading historian of indigenous dispossession, John Hirst, Australia’s leading political historian, Judith Brett, Professor of Politics at La Trobe, and Ghassan Hage, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Melbourne, debate the meaning and extent of racism in Australia.

This stellar line-up addresses, amongst many other things, the recent re-emergence of the 'boat people' issue; the Cronulla riots; the history of racism in Australia; and its legacy in the form of contemporary indigenous disadvantage.

This event was organised by Robert Manne and the Ideas and Society Program, La Trobe University. October 2009
