Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Nov 14, 2009
Race seems such an obvious, natural part of human life. But where does the idea come from? How has it come to be weighed down with the baggage of hatred, prejudice and fear? Is human difference, in itself, a cause of racial division?
Part Four: Race Today
Our final program looks at how the idea of race was used by Australian colonists, from biblical justifications for the supposed inferiority of Aboriginal people, through to social Darwinist notions of racial competition. Scientific and religious race ideas have had a huge impact on Australian government policies towards Aborigines to this day. The program also explores some new ideas about race, and some new solutions to the problems of racial division
This series was presented and produced by Gary Bryson in August 1999. The technical producer was John Cochrane.
