The keynote address by Barrie Pittock, 'Racism in Australia — an introductory perspective', has been omitted from the report. Without it, the report seems to lack relevance and point because the other papers are quite theoretical in their approach and do not reach the level of practicality this conference seemed to require. Not a great deal that is new or useful can be learned, from this report, on racism in Australia.

270 Bibliography
This book contains twenty-eight contributions from writers who have had considerable experience with Aborigines. They take into account the problems of traditionally-oriented Aborigines as well as those who live in urban and country town situations. They provide new facts and new ways of looking at those facts which enhance our general understanding of Aboriginal affairs.

BERRY, MARY FRANCES. Black Resistance/White Law: A History of Constitutional Racism in America. New York, Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971.

This is an analysis of the use and abuse of constitutional theory and practice to repress actively and to refuse national protection to blacks. The author argues that the theory of federalism coupled with the use, the threat to use, and the failure to use national military power legally sanctioned racial oppression and that law has been an instrument for maintaining a racist status quo.

Pp. 30. ISBN 0 642 02758 7.

The purpose of this study was to establish the persistence of discrimination in Townsville against Aboriginal and Islander people. The researchers found that the people are discriminated against in employment, in housing and in hotels. These facts were obtained by sampling and by having an Aboriginal and a white (control) person make identical requests of the respondent. To counteract the charge that Aborigines will exaggerate their problems in self-reports, three field studies were also conducted which corroborated the samplings. Having proved their point, the researchers make some recommendations towards eliminating discrimination in these fields, stressing that these approaches should be uniform.

MADDOCK, KENNETH. The Australian Aborigines: A Portrait of Their Society.
Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. x + 210. ISBN 0 14 021774 6.

This is an attempt to state some of the general features of Aboriginal society and to show how they are interrelated. The author has drawn examples from forty people spread throughout Australia. The attempt at generalising is done successfully, within the restrictions the author has himself laid down. Particularly effective are the two chapters on The world-creative powers', which give not only the religious viewpoints of Aborigines but also the philosophical basis for their attitudes to life and society.

The major section of the book examines concepts of race and racism, the relationship between race and intelligence, and race and identity. The remainder of the book relates these concepts to the situation of Aborigines in Australia. One chapter, that on race, psychology and intelligence, is controversial because it lends some support to Jensen's genetic theories of racial difference in intelligence.

This book is a valuable compilation of the proceedings of a conference held in 1973 at the University of New South Wales. At the conference, Aborigines and non-Aborigines discussed the question of human rights and the law as it relates to Aborigines. Important information can be found on a number of topics, including discrimination, Queensland legislation, Aborigines and the court system, legal aid, land rights, and Aborigines in Australian society.

This book scrutinises the part played by the law in determining the position of Aborigines and

Torres Strait Islanders in Queensland. It analyses the conflicting philosophies of both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments. The author succeeds in demonstrating that the Australian Government could be answerable to the international community for violating the relevant international documents which it has ratified.

PITTOCK, A. BARRIE. Beyond White Australia: a Short History of Race Relations in Australia. Surry Hills, N.S.W., Quaker Race Relations Committee, 1975. Pp. 51.

Asserts that white racism is 'part of the white Australian heritage'; the society has been built upon racism with racist assumptions built into its very fabric. Pittock tries to see the situation from the black point of view. He has succeeded in compiling a good, concise summary of race relations in Australia, with some reference to the non-European immigrants. Some of the reasons behind the conflict are explained.

PITTOCK, A. BARRIE. Toward a Multi-racial Society: the 1969 James Backhouse Lecture. Sydney, The Religious Society of Friends, 1969. Pp. 36.

This short document outlines the racism inherent in Australian society. Pittock defines racism and provides examples of its Australian manifestations. He condemns assimilation, as an alternative to segregation, as being equally racist. Inevitably Australia will become increasingly multi-racial. A solution is for Australians to recognise and accept a plural society and to foster 'a growing recognition of the values and merits of diverse traditions and cultures'.

ROWLEY, C. D. The Destruction of Aboriginal Society. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. 430. ISBN 0 14 021452 6.

Rowley, in his first volume, provides the essential historical background on a comprehensive scale of the frontier clash between white settlers and Aborigines. The situation and its aftermath are examined in each State, and is followed by the Commonwealth's search for an Aboriginal policy from 1934-1948. A detailed and scholarly study.

ROWLEY, C. D. A Matter of justice. Canberra, Australian National University Press, 1978. Pp. 249. ISBN 0 7081 0658 7.

This book is a comprehensive survey of a number of issues, including the plight of Aborigines in employment, Aboriginal settlements, the Aboriginal Embassy. The author also makes recommendations for reform and discusses the opportunities which could be offered to Aborigines through new institutions.

ROWLEY, C. D. Outcasts in White Australia. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. 472. ISBN 0 7081 0624 2.

The second of three volumes dealing with Aboriginal policy and practice, in which Rowley looks at the situation of Aborigines in the closely settled areas of Australia — some on reserves, some living on the fringes of rural communities and some in the larger cities. The content is exhaustive. Rowley and his research team have taken great care to trace all relevant information so that this volume, with the other two, forms a valuable and a reliable information source.

ROWLEY, C. D. The Remote Aborigines. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. x + 379. ISBN 0 7081 0625 O.

In the last of the trilogy devoted to Aboriginal policy and practices, Rowley focuses on those areas to the north and central regions of Australia — the areas he terms 'colonial Australia'. Here the Aborigines live on reserves and properties, and cling to what they can of their traditional cultures. With meticulous care for detail, he discusses the effects of mining developments in W.A., N.T. and Qld, claims for land rights, and conditions of employment and wages. In his conclusion, Rowley strongly urges non-Aborigines to develop an appreciation of those things that Aboriginal societies have to offer us all.

This study is limited to just three of the Australian States. It omits examination of the relations

between Aborigines and the criminal law in Queensland and the Northern Territory which would each constitute a separate major study. Nevertheless such studies need to be done to complete the picture. Eggleston's treatment is historical and does not take into account changes in the law after 1976. However, granting these strictures, the information presented, its organisation and the author's balanced evaluations of it make this a valuable contribution to

our growing knowledge of the effects of the criminal procedures on Aborigines. Particularly commended are the chapters on 'Special legislation' and 'Recognition of tribal law'.

This case is important because Mr Justice Wells decided that police officers, when interrogating tribal Aborigines, should follow instructions contained in a police circular, and that failure to do so may result in the exclusion of any confession. Mr Justice Wells also held the view that when sentencing tribal Aborigines for offences against tribal law, tribal justice should be reinforced, not replaced by, European conceptions of justice.

There are several major findings of this study. One is that in ten N.S.W. towns with high Aboriginal populations, Aborigines charged with minor offences in public places greatly outnumber non-Aborigines. The behaviour resulting in the charges was in the main of a trivial nature, the majority of offences involving the use of unseemly words. The study showed that penalties, too, have a more severe impact on Aboriginal people. An appreciable number of those convicted and fined in the 10 towns in this study went to jail rather than pay the fine.
