One of the major cultural and economic issues facing both Australia and Canada concerns the governments' past and present failures to involve the "first peoples" in development. Elspeth Young contrast the materialist development approach of both big companies and governments with the stress of the Indian, Inuit and Aboriginal peoples place on husbanding natural resources.
Exploring why attempts to promote minority development have failed, whether models of sustainable development are applicable to remote area development, as well as the crucial issue of self-determination, the book reveals the yawning gap between what people want and what governments are prepared to offer. The author argues that this gap can only be briged by alternative approaches to development, centered on participation and the acknowledgement of these peoples' holistic sense of community.
Industry Reviews
..."a rich and detailed discussion of various development models... ...this book does provide a thorough historical report on development in the two regions, and should certainly be required reading for anyone considering comparative research in [Canada and Australia]." -"Transcultural Psychiatry "Young's work compares contemporary Canada and Australia vis-a-vis remote area economic development and its impact on aboriginal peoples.... Young concludes that achievement of sustainable development for aboriginal people can occur only when a secure land base, e.g., Nunavut Canada, is in the hands of its original owners.." -"Choice "This is a lushly produced book, complete with many photographs, figures and tables. It demonstrates the value of international comparisons of Indigenous issues, and transcends academic disciplines. A geographer by training, Young focuses on the land and the relationship of Aboriginal peoples to it." -James Waldram, University Saskatchewan, "Journal of Political Ecology
