Professor Rhonda Craven led the Project of National Significance, 'Teaching the Teachers: Indigenous Australian Studies', from which this book developed. One of Australia's leading education researchers, she now heads the Educational Excellence and Equity (E3) Research Program at the University of Western Sydney.
The importance of this book cannot be overestimated. We have been insisting for years that pre-service teachers be required to learn about Aboriginal history, culture and identity, and that it be regarded as integral to qualifying for their education degrees. --Lionel Bamblett, General Manager, Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Inc.
