Description: Despite being the longest-running reconciliation process, there has been no authoritative study of Australian reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people. Reconciliation and Colonial Power fills a significant gap in theoretical and empirical understanding and suggests that, rather than being a genuine attempt at atonement, Australian reconciliation is perhaps better understood as the latest stage in the colonial project.
