What are evaluating dispossession as the foundation of later issues?
Show answer
Dispossession is the root that explains the rest of the course. The over-representation of Aboriginal people in poverty, poor health and the justice system, the loss of languages, and the fight for land rights all trace back to the taking of Country and the dislocation that followed. When you analyse any later issue, connecting it back to dispossession turns description into causal analysis, which is what the top bands reward.
