Summary
Discusses the definitions and measurements of poverty as experienced by Indigenous Australians and points out that this should include social exclusion and disadvantage in addition to income; reviews a range of conceptualisations and theoretical criticisms of social capital theory; outlines some of the ways in which the theory of social capital can be applied usefully in addressing Indigenous disadvantage, and suggests avenues for further research
