For too long Australia's media has failed to communicate First Nations political aspirations. This unique study of key Indigenous initiatives seeking self-determination and justice reveals a history of media procrastination and denial. A team of Indigenous researchers examine 45 years of media responses to First Nations initiatives, from the 1972 Larrakia petition to the Queen seeking land rights and treaties, to the desire for recognition expressed in the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart. The analysis exposes how the media frames stories, develops discourses, and supports deeper historical narratives that corrode and undermine the intent and urgency of Indigenous aspirations, through approaches ranging from sympathetic stalling to patronising parodies. This book will be useful to media professionals to improve their practices, to First Nations communities seeking to test media truth-telling, and by anyone seeking to understand how Indigenous desires and hopes have been expressed, and represented, in recent Australian political history.

This book highlights cyber racism as an ever growing contemporary phenomenon. Its scope and impact reveals how the internet has escaped national governments, while its expansion is fuelling the spread of non-state actors. In response, the authors address the central question of this topic: What is to be done? Cyber Racism and Community Resilience demonstrates how the social sciences can be marshalled to delineate, comprehend and address the issues raised by a global epidemic of hateful acts against race. Authored by an inter-disciplinary team of researchers based in Australia, this book presents original data that reflects upon the lived, complex and often painful reality of race relations on the internet. It engages with the various ways, from the regulatory to the role of social activist, which can be deployed to minimise the harm often felt. This book will be of particular interest to students and academics in the fields of cybercrime, media sociology and cyber racism.
