Third World in the First

<p>European colonisation has marginalised the `first peoples' in industrialised countries such as Australia and Canada. In remote regions, still the homes of large Aboriginal, Indian and Inuit populations, this legacy remains strong.<br>Modernisation - the `boom and bust' model of state and private development - and the partial and biased assistance provided by the state have eroded many communities through their disregard for socio-economic structures and the beliefs which underpin them.<br><em>Third World in the First</em> explores the past, present and future of these peoples, their treatment by the `West' and the alternative strategies of development which might be available to them.</p> Preface 1.
