Searching for Australia's Soul.
Reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians continues to tear at the heart of Australia, exposing our struggle for soul. In the deepest sense, this quest is not just political and social, but also spiritual and human. This book is timely as Norman Habel explores the significance of the reconciliation process for the spiritual dimension as part of Australia's identity.
The book is the result of Norman Habel's reflection on Australia's spirit, characters and identity. It is an invitation to become an advocate of reconciliation. For Habel, being Australian means embracing the story and struggle of the Aboriginal peoples for justice and recognising their suffering since 1788 as integral to our spiritual heritage.
