Third World in the First Development and Indigenous Peoples

The history of European colonisation has been based upon the marginalisation of 'first peoples'. This legacy is most apparent in the outback of Australia and Canada, the remote areas which have harboured the Aboriginal, Indian and Inuit peoples. Modernisation, the 'boom and bust' model of state and private development, and the partial and biased aid provided by the state have eroded many communities and the holistic beliefs which underpin them. Third World in the First explores the past, present and future of these peoples, their treatment by the 'West' and the strategies of development left open to them.Young, Elspeth is the author of 'Third World in the First Development and Indigenous Peoples', published 1995 under ISBN 9780415116732 and ISBN 0415116732.
