Description
It has been well documented that the health status of many Aboriginal people remains the poorest in Australia despite some many years
of research, policies and interventions. The second edition of Binang Goonj: Bridging Cultures in Aboriginal Health explores the processes
and practices which has created this situation and looks to provide practical strategies to work towards redressing it. Extensively adopted
as a teaching text across Australia, Binang Goonj provides coverage of essential Aboriginal health topics in an accessible manner. This
edition challenges the reader to exam their own values, the relativity of values and the use of power in society with a writing style
that will engage readers from a range of backgrounds. Thoroughly updated and revised the long-awaited edition of Binang Goonj: Bridging
Cultures in Aboriginal Health 2E will provide current up-to-date literature addressing the complexity and multidisciplinary topics of
Indigenous Health.
