Sinopsis

In the early 1980s, Barbara Jackson visited her father in Tennant Creek and was catapulted into the harsh reality of life in an Aboriginal community. Her version of Australian history hadnâÇÖt prepared her for the racism, the sub-standard living conditions, or the suffering. She decided to do something about it.ááBarbaraâÇÖs wry humour leavens her lively account of the traumas, frustrations and rewards of working to help empower Aboriginal communities in the face of bureaucratic ineptitude and institutionalised racism. Told with a larrikinâÇÖs eye for the ridiculous and a sociologistâÇÖs insight into the structural barriers facing remote communities,áit is also the story of a friendship between father and daughter, and the work they shared.ááA rare combination of engrossing story and history lesson, Crossing Cultures is a book about the outback and its peoples, especially the Indigenous people still fighting for a voice in how their communities are governed.
