Reconciliation game: Australian Football in the new South Africa

理解体育在形成定居者/土著关系中所扮演的角色，将使澳大利亚能够支持与后种族隔离时代的南非发展持久而有意义的足球联系。这些将建立在承认南非体育运动具有类似殖民遗产的评估之上。最近澳大利亚土著居民参与澳大利亚足球的活动表明了和解的可能性，以及与后种族隔离时代的南非进行积极体育交流的潜力。本研究考察了如何通过澳大利亚-南非体育对话不仅可以促进和解，而且可以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.
