Holland also uses the arc of Bennett’s life story to explore the development of a broader humanitarian discourse that sought to highlight the plight of Indigenous peoples in Australia.' (Introduction)

    'This edition includes papers on topics ranging from the reported sleep patterns of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to a discussion of the meanings attached to drawings made by an Aboriginal historian from western Arnhem Land. As always, a common tie between the diverse set of topics is our commitment to promote the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. This includes the right to self-determination and to be full and fair participants in research that impacts Indigenous people.'  (Editorial introduction)
