Sommario/riassunto

Cultural diversity is central to Australia's national identity, however many Australians regularly experience racism. Racist attitudes are common in the form of unconscious bias, intolerance and prejudice; at its worst, racial discrimination manifests in violence and abuse. This book reveals the extent, causes and impacts of racism. What are people's rights under racial discrimination and hatred laws? How can we can address racist attitudes and behaviours together as one people?
