About this book

This book, the first long-range history of the voluntary sector in Australia and the first internationally to compare philanthropy for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in a settler society, explores how the race and gender ideologies embedded in philanthropy contributed to the construction of Australia's welfare state.

Reviews

'In this timely, thoughtful, and deeply knowledgeable book, Anne O'Brien provides us with a much-needed long picture of modern philanthropy and welfare. She has deftly woven Indigenous and non?Indigenous histories together, in an exemplary study of great scope and significance.' - Alison Bashford, Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, UK
