Untold stories of Aboriginal exemption
La Trobe academics Dr Lucinda Aberdeen and Associate Professor Jennifer Jones are the editors of a new book titled Black, White and Exempt: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lives under exemption which presents the untold story of Aboriginal exemption, a policy imposed by state governments on Aboriginal people during the twentieth century.
