'fair go'? Equality? the people's movement for reconciliation (ANTaR) and critical information literacy

Abstract

The author reviews 'critical information literacy' against the context of the first decade of the process of reconciliation which was initiated by Federal Parliament in 1991 with the legislation, supported by the major political parties, creating the Commonwealth-funded Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (CAR). A reconciliation process in Australia was recommended by the final chapter of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. It called for bipartisan political support, foreseeing major obstacles to reconciliation otherwise. © 2002, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
