History; Social issues & processes; Indigenous peoples; Central government policies

How does Indigenous policy signed off in Canberra work, or not, when implemented in remote Aboriginal communities? The authors of Serious Whitefella Stuff are self-proclaimed policy wonks with significant and successful on-the-ground experience of this ongoing challenge. What, they ask, is the right balance between respecting local traditions and making significant improvement in the areas of alcohol consumption, home ownership, and revitalising cultural practices?

If you want to help, you should read Serious Whitefella Stuff.' - Noel Pearson 'This book reminds us that the dance between policy and practice is an awkward one, and that change is tough to achieve and sustain. Mark Moran and his colleagues offer both chastening experiences and some pointers to how more systemic change could happen.'-Tim Costello
