Abstract
Over the past two decades the Australian reconciliation movement has worked to reconcile Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, through education the wider community about reconciliation and Indigenous issues, addressing Indigenous socio-economic disadvantage and recognising Indigenous peoples and Indigenous rights. One of the most significant strengths of the reconciliation movement during this time has been the development f local reconciliation initiatives and activities throughout the Australian community. This book explores a number of local case studies of reconciliation within the Gippsland region of Victoria. The book brings together several scholars who discuss reconciliation in relation to wide range of areas: wider community attitudes, addressing history, educating the wider community, Indigenous socio-economic disadvantage, Indigenous rights and community reconciliation. These case studies illustrate the hopes, outcomes and obstacles regarding the efforts of those working towards reconciliation in this country.
