“In retrospect, the Embassy contributed nothing to the Aboriginal land claim in terms of theoretical detail. Its contribution and its historical importance lay rather in the fact that it put the idea of land claim well and truly in the news. The need for a nation-wide black conference to thresh out the land claim issue thoroughly is obvious.”

Hmph. Maybe strong characteristic analysis regarding the “black” classes, but no strength in the analysis of class interests within a capitalist system regardless of race.

I have to remember that KG didn’t necessarily hold anti-capitalist sentiments which surprisingly isn’t non-typical of radical Oceanians of the past.

One thing I don’t understand is how in-tune and clear a person could be about their own material and social reality but then completely off when it comes to others’.
KG wrote he wants for the Aboriginal people a Black Israel………
Sigh.

I appreciate KG’s out-right critiques of the arbiters of liberalism in Aboriginal affairs. He has strong self-crit but also shamelessly gives note to where others fell short or simply gave up.

Idk how much more contradictions can contradict. Time and space complicate universal truths ya know…
It’s only dawning on me now this book’s resonance with Kwame Ture and Charles Hamilton’s [Black Power] but for the Aboriginal people in “Australia.”
