| Summary |
Read this book before you vote in The Voice to Parliament referendum. Whether a No or a Yes voter, it may transform the way you think and influence your reasons. Tor Hundloe draws widely on evolutionary psychology, pre-history, history, anthropology, geography, economics, biology and environmental science to provide an informed context for considering the consequences, good and bad, of the collision of ancient and modern cultures. Few would deny the material benefits of modernity, yet descendants of the First Australians were most severely affected by it. For Australians who believe in a fair go and a humanist ideal this is still to be rectified. |
