- Summary
- "Why are we consistently confronted with failure to achieve statistical equality in critically important areas such as health, housing and education?" "In Crossed Purposes: The Pintupi and Australia's Indigenous Policy Ralph Folds offers new insights into this dilemma through an examination of the relationship between the Australian state and the Pintupi people of Australia's western deserts. Folds' critique fundamentally challenges many popular assumptions about the way indigenous groups like the Pintupi interact with western society."--Jacket.
