The Journey to Legal Recognition of the Torres Strait Islander Child Rearing Practice

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Paul Ban takes readers on an historically important and remarkable journey of the Kupai Omasker Working Party. In Queensland, whilst we have attained legal recognition of Torres Strait Islander traditional child rearing practices, the real driving force behind this world first achievement was a small band of Torres Strait Islanders and a handful of philanthropists who formed the Kupai Omasker Working Party. In this book, the Kupai Omasker Working Party give an unfiltered account of their extraordinary journey - an epic of struggle, setbacks, renewed hope and ultimate triumph.

Their stories are a testament of what can be achieved when two cultures work together towards an ultimate goal to address a social wrong and structural injustice. -
