Speech delivered at the YANQ Conference, 2005

In this speech ( transcript here) Dr Zohl de Ishtar discusses the impact of racism on the futures of young Indigenous people in Central Australia. Dr de Ishtar argues that

"[c]ultural racism is so ubiquitous and invasive that those of us who are part of the dominant culture (that is on the delivery end) often fail to recognise it. It occurs when dominant cultural norms are taken for granted, when dominant systems and lifeways – our structures (or institutions) and ways of doing and being (our customs and practices) – are simply assumed to be the norm."
