A Cautious Silence : The Politics of Australian Anthropology

In the first comprehensive history of modern Australian social anthropology, Gray (anthropology and history, Monash U.) sets out nearly four decades of practice. He discusses the forces that helped shape, frame, and influence the formation of a distinctive anthropological practice that has been particularly influential in the making and the representations of Indigenous peoples for scholars, governments, and the general public.
