{"product_id":"redfern-johanna-perheentupa-9781925302295","title":"Redfern: Aboriginal activism in the 1970s","description":"In the 1970s, Redfern, an inner-city suburb of metropolitan Sydney, became the epicentre for Aboriginal intellectuals and ambitious young radicals. Having fled poverty and segregation in rural Australia in the 1950s and 60s, they set about fulfilling their vision - a new way of living, where Aboriginal people could control their own lives - politically, economically and culturally. Redfern: Aboriginal activism in the 1970s is the previously untold story of how they set about fulfilling their dreams. In a fast-paced burst of creativity and hard work, in just three years an Aboriginal health service, a housing cooperative, a legal service, a child care centre and a black theatre in Redfern were established. They had some support, and the promise of self-determination under the newly elected Whitlam's Labor government, but there was also abuse and discrimination. This is the story of how, with hard work, humour and vision, they prevailed to build organisations that have served as models for similar organisations all over Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johanna Perheentupa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925302296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925302295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aboriginal Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.02w x 0.60d","brand":"Johanna Perheentupa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48991596904703,"sku":"9781925302295","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/redfern-johanna-perheentupa-9781925302295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
