Introduction This article is about racism. My interest was prompted by a study group to focus on the history of the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, which I wrote about in this Journal (Hutt, 2018). This work made apparent to me the racism embedded in our history. I wanted to learn more about racism: where it comes from, why it is still prevalent today and how it can be transformed. I began with a search of literature on contemporary social research and anti-racism practice, and along the way discovered the contribution to this field of J.L. Moreno, the founder of psychodrama, and some of his influential contemporaries. This article presents my findings. |
