Quotes by Kim Mahood (?)

“The contradiction at the heart of the story is that for the quality of desert Aboriginal lives to improve in the terms demanded by humanitarian standards — in health, education, housing, and the like — the people themselves must become more like we kardiya, and to become more like us requires them to relinquish the identity from which their resilience and sense of self is drawn.”
― Kim Mahood, Wandering with Intent: essays

“and brightest, too often it’s the sociopaths, the self-righteous, the bleeding hearts, and the morally ambiguous who apply for and get the jobs, and provide the example of white society against which the local people formulate their resistance.”

“has a significant white population that is disproportionately influential while being unequipped, unprepared, or unsuitable for the work it does. There are the good people, who are overworked and undervalued; and there are the sociopaths, the borderline criminals, the self-righteous bullies and the mentally unhinged, who gravitate to the positions that no one else wants, entrench themselves, and contribute in no small degree to the malaise that haunts Indigenous communities.”
