This unit explores the concepts of colonisation and neocolonisation in the light of contemporary Indigenous Australian experience. Theoretical perspectives on these and related concepts are examined in relation to students' professional experience. A critique of concepts including development, post-colonialism and anti-colonialism provides a basis for reexamining the role of advocates and the discourses of development.
