This book explores what happens when well-meaning people, supported by the state, attempt to help without harming. 'White anti-racists' find themselves trapped by endless ambiguities, contradictions, and double binds -- a microcosm of the broader dilemmas of postcolonial societies. These dilemmas are fueled by tension between the twin desires of equality and difference: to make Indigenous people statistically the same as non-Indigenous people (to 'close the gap') while simultaneously maintaining their 'cultural' distinctiveness. This tension lies at the heart of failed development efforts in Indigenous communities, ethnic minority populations and the global South. This book explains why doing good is so hard, and how it could be done differently. 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xServices for 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xEthnic identity 606 $aWhite people$zAustralia$xAttitudes 606 $aRace awareness$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xServices for. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aWhite people$xAttitudes. 615 0$aRace awareness 676 $a362.84 676 $a362.84/9915 700 $aKowal$b Emma$0997660 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480302003321 996 $aTrapped in the gap$92287999 997 $aUNINA
