What are ongoing effects?Show answer
The effects of colonisation are not confined to the past. Sociologists describe intergenerational trauma, where the harms of dispossession and removal are transmitted across generations through disrupted families and communities. This is reflected in continuing gaps in health, life expectancy, education, employment and incarceration rates, the focus of the Closing the Gap framework.
