Argues that the racialized Aboriginal citizen recognized in the Australian Constitution is no way a curative for the absence of the Aborigine for the first 60 years of the 20th century. Contending that Australian nationhood was founded on racism, the history of this tradition is traced. Much attention is given to chronicling Aborigine disenfranchisement & citizenship & the constitutional, legislative, & legal dimensions of this. In light of the persistent inferior status of Aboriginal Australians, a call is made for formal racism to be excised from the Constitution & that the pre-existing Aborigine nations be recognized. J.
