This volume traces the complex reasons for the disturbing discrepancy between the health and well-being of children in mainstream Australia and those in remote indigenous communities. The high rate and root causes of ill-health amongst Aboriginal children are explored through a unique synthesis of historical, anthropological, biological and medical analyses. The book considers growth faltering as an emblem of the crisis of Aboriginal parenting, why it is a moral problem for the Australian nation, and why the conventional framework of social determinants of health is inadequate.
