Title Biographie de A. P. Elkin (1891-1979) Description Tigger Wise, 'Elkin, Adolphus Peter (1891–1979)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 19 December 2013. Extrait : "As an anthropologist, he was a meticulous observer and recorder, with a particular interest in ritual and kinship; in terms of theory, he was a functionalist, a diffusionist, a Darwinist. In his religious beliefs, he was a humanist—in the tradition of his heroes Frederick Maurice and Charles Kingsley. As a lobbyist for the rights of Aborigines, he believed in the politics of compromise, courtesy and restraint; he proved tenacious in method and optimistic in outlook. Elkin regarded protection as the basis for growth and considered that Aborigines would inevitably be assimilated by White Australia (although he did not envisage them losing their identity in the process). He was a pragmatist, a plain speaker, a conservative who believed there was no point wasting energy on battles that could not be won." Credits Tigger Wise
