About This Item
Canberra: Aboriginal Studies Press, 2007. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, spine little creased, light toning inside covers, bottom corners tips covers little creased, minor edgewear. 302 pp. Indigenous writer Bruce Pascoe provides a powerful, lyrical and passionate new book. He asks us to fully acknowledge our past and the way these actions continue to influence Australia today, both in a physical and intellectual sense. The author draws on the past through a critical examination of major historical works and witness accounts, and finds uncanny parallels between the techniques and language used there to today's national political climate.
