Since the first wave of European colonization, Australian
Aborigines have suffered great damage to their society and traditional
culture as a result of the repressive Aboriginal policies of the government.
Such policies, regardless of whether they were formulated by the
colonial, state or federal government, are discussed first with regard to
how they affected society as a whole during the last two centuries.
Consideration is then given to the contemporary problem of urban
Aborigines. The prime source for understanding the latters' response to
recent Aboriginal policies is provided by the life histories of individual
Aborigine town dwellers which the author collected in Adelaide by
means of personal interview. Four case studies are examined in detail to
summarize the response to the common questions involved, namely:
1 / Why did you come and live in Adelaide?
2 / What do you think of Aborigines living in the Outback?
3 / How would you evaluate the educational programme which you
received?
4 / What does the expression 'New Australian' mean to you?
5 / What is your opinion of 'multi-culturalism'?
Their responses would appear to provide indispensable information
and are applied to the personal data assembled for analysis and discussion
in this paper.
