WEST AUSTRALIANA Aboriginal Indigenous

“Charts the thorny path of racial conflict over Western Australia’s first 100 years of settled history. It’s a disturbing account spanning the initial tit-for-tat killings, rising to the undeclared war of extermination in the Kimberley, and concluding with oppressive measures of State control over its original inhabitants. In between are a few luminaries and rare deeds of compassion.”
