AbstractHistoryArchive Description

‘The legacy to Dr Duguid is as important today as it was during its creation and the time of Dr Duguid’s campaign for the reform of Australia’s relationship with the First Nations Peoples of this land. Duguid’s campaigns were long; one waged in 1947 was against the establishment of a British-Australian rocket and nuclear weapon testing program at Woomera in South Australia. Though it was ultimately put down, subsequent history makes plain that he was right – Duguid foresaw and urged against the immense and needless destruction and waste caused by the nuclear weapons program. That same level of urgency surrounds Aboriginal Australia today.’ (Introduction)

    'This collection celebrates the contribution to public intellectual life - in South Australia and beyond - of eleven respected Indigenous educators, community leaders and activists: the Duguid lecturers.

    'Their work, in turn, honours the dedication of Dr Charles and Phyllis Duguid in advancing the cultural, social and political interests of Indigenous Australians from the 1930s to the 1990s.

    'The Duguid Memorial Lectures, 1994–2014, offer telling insights into the endeavours of individuals, communities and movements dedicated to improving Indigenous education, health, cultural practice and community governance. They prepare the ground and point the way for generations of leaders to come.

    'The Duguids and the Duguid lecturers are partners in the long, continuing campaign for a reconciled Australia.' (Publication summary)
