A landmark work in Australian social history, Outcasts in White Australia presents a rigorous and unflinching examination of the marginalisation of Aboriginal Australians within their own land. C.D. Rowley chronicles the systemic policies, racial prejudices, and institutional failures that relegated Indigenous peoples to the fringes of Australian society throughout the colonial and post-colonial periods. Written with academic authority yet accessible in its prose, the work argues that the so-called Aboriginal problem was never one of Indigenous inadequacy, but rather a product of deliberate dispossession and exclusion engineered by the settler state. This volume forms the second part of Rowley's influential trilogy on Aboriginal policy, sitting alongside The Destruction of Aboriginal Society and The Remote Aborigines, together constituting one of the most comprehensive sociological studies of Indigenous Australian experience ever published.
