Australian History (Settlers Ignoring the Aboriginal people)

Instructions

How is the discourse of Whiteness, oppression, and dispossession linked in Australian history?

Answer Preview

White people have dominated the Australian society ignoring the initial settlers of the country that is the Aboriginal people. Whiteness, as a result, caused oppression in terms of equality, oppression, and distribution of resources, where the same can be connected to Australian history (Moreton-Robinson, 2005). For instance, the indigenous people were denied the right to own land that they already occupied through the introduction of the doctrine of terra nullius.
