内容説明

This is a treatment of the social policy of assimilation. It compares assimilation policy in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and focuses in particular on the measures used to mould the "next generation" of aboriginal people, while children. The policy is traced back to its origins in the British House of Commons in 1837 and is shown to have taken different forms in different policy periods, ranging from early missionary attempts to "protect" aboriginal people from European settlers, to current interest in the development of a more plural society in which aboriginal people control their own institutions.

内容説明

The aboriginal people of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand became minorities in their own countries in the nineteenth century. The expanding British Empire had its own vision for the future of these peoples, which was expressed in 1837 by the Select Committee on Aborigines of the House of Commons. It was a vision of the steps necessary for them to become civilized, Christian, and citizens - in a word, assimilated. This book provides the first systematic and comparative treatment of the social policy of assimilation that was followed in these three countries. The recommendations of the 1837 committee were broadly followed by each of the three countries, but there were major differences in the means that were used. Australia began with a denial of the aboriginal presence, Canada began establishing a register of all 'status' Indians, and New Zealand began by giving all Maori British citizenship.
