Reconciliation game: Australian Football in the new South Africa

了解体育在塑造定居者/土著人关系方面所发挥的作用，将使澳大利亚能够支持与后南非建立持久和有意义的足球联系。 这些评估将建立在承认南非体育有类似殖民遗产的评估基础上。最近接受澳大利亚土著参加澳大利亚足球表明和解的可能性和与后南非的积极体育交流的潜力。 本研究探讨了如何通过澳大利亚-南非体育对话不仅促进和解，而且在发展持续和有社会意义的参与方面实现和解。

An understanding of the role sport has played in shaping settler/native relationships will enable Australia to support the development of enduring and meaning football contacts with post-Apartheid South Africa. These will be built on appraisals that admit a similar colonial inheritance to sport in South Africa. Recent embrace of Indigenous Australian participation in Australian Football indicates the possibility of reconciliation and the potential for positive sporting interchange with post-Apartheid South Africa. This study examines how reconciliations through Australia - South Africa sporting dialogue can not only be promoted but realised in terms of developing sustained and socially meaningful engagements.
