Book Synopsis Taking Our Place by : John Cleverley
Book excerpt: Taking Our Place tells the story of Aboriginal education and the Koori Centre at the University of Sydney. Within its short history, the university has embodied both the virtues and vices of Australia's public attitudes to Indigenous people. The university's early teaching and research focused on Aboriginal people as ethnographical specimens, a race frozen in time. This is the first account of struggles and outcomes arising from the engagement of Indigenous people with a tertiary institution in Australia.
