It asks what it takes to become a helping white bureau-professional in Australias post-colonial frontier - someone who passionately cares about and resolutely strives toward improved health for Indigenous people and how their determination to help is sustained in the face of a self-declared history of failure."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-267) and index Notes Print version record In EBL Subject Northern Territory.
