About This Item
Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 2006. Softcover. Very Good. A man of Aboriginal ancestry finds himself at a difficult point in the history of his country, family and self. As the apparently successful outcome of years white grandfather's enthusiastic attempts to isolate and breed the 'first white man born', he wants to be a failure. But would such a failure mean that his Nyoongar (Aboriginal) ancestors could labelled him a success? And how can the attempted genocide represented by his family history be told?
