Marcia Langton (2020) | Dangerous Fictions

No one has a monopoly on truth when it comes to the past and
present lives of Australia’s Indigenous peoples. Conservatives
tend to deny that Indigenous peoples should have special status
in the Constitution. Progressives tend to turn a blind eye to the
profound dysfunction that plagues so many Indigenous communities
– and refuse to accept that Indigenous people want and deserve
all of the benefits of the modern world. Marcia Langton is a
fearless truth-teller who challenges the dangerous orthodoxies of
a society that seems incapable of making peace with the truth of
its own past.
