Glen McLaren & William Cooper
ISBN 1 876248 56 4 PB 216pp 250x175 2001 Environment & NRM; Northern Australia; Law & Business

Forgetting Compliance: Aboriginal Health and Medical Culture | ||
Kim Humphery and Tarun Weeramanthri with Joseph Fitz
ISBN 1 876248 59 9 PB 122pp 249x175 2001 |
This study provides both a critical insight into the institutionalised culture of health services provision in the Northern Territory and, most importantly, points towards ways in which that culture can be transformed. We conclude that 'compliance', thought of as a measure of patient uptake, must be forgotten. Instead, provision and uptake issues must be thought about simultaneously, as two sides of the one coin. |

This volume spans the period from the early British and French explorers of the Northern Territory coast to 1945 - and all those recorded herein are dead. Within that period, our work has shown, there are many, many more who would be worthy subjects for inclusion in a work of this kind; and there is a whole generation since 1945 as yet unrecorded. They are to be the subjects of later volumes in this series. |

It is inevitable that the prevailing ideology of a nation, whether overtly or covertly, will predetermine a mono-cultural language and literacy syllabus unless multicultural activists and ethnic minorities make their voices heard through the public media. The purpose of literacy is not just to find a job. Literacy is the vital key to an intelligent participation in self-government by multicultural democracy. |
