Up until the 1970s, a large proportion of Aboriginal people in Australia had some experience in institutions as part of government assimilation and protection policies. By focusing on three communities in South Australia, Peggy Brock looks at the consequences of this institutionalisation for Aborigines and Australian society in general.
