Our Greatest Challenge Author: Hannah McGlade

ISBN: 9781922059109 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 256 Published: 1 June 2012 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 23.0 x 15.2 x 2.0 Description: Hannah McGlade's new book bravely addresses the complex and fraught issue of Aboriginal child abuse. She argues that Aboriginal child sexual assault has been formed within the entrenched societal forces of racism, colonisation and patriarchy, yet cast in the Australian public domain as an Aboriginal 'problem', with controversial government responses critiqued as racist and paternalistic. McGlade highlights that non-Aboriginal society has yet to acknowledge the traumatic impacts of the sexual assault on Aboriginal children which was part and parcel of the European project of 'civilisation'. She provides detailed analysis of the legal systems response.
