The Long Story: A Personal Journey Through Inter- Racial Relations in Australia by Wayne Long and Graham Perrett

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Small tear to beck cover left edge now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Wayne Long is a proud Murri man, born in St George on the Balonne River, but he is also a child of the Middle Kingdom - his grandfather, Old Billy Long, being part of the Chinese diaspora.

Wayne's story is interwoven with the historical, political and social events that have impacted on inter-racial relations in Australia for more than two hundred years, from Cook's landing to Mabo, from the Frontier Wars to the 1987 Goondiwindi riots, from the White Australia Policy to Paul Keating's Redfern speech.

Wayne Long's journey is that of so many Australians with First Nations and Chinese roots, and is one of humour, wonder, sadness and resilience. A triumph of magic and endurance. (back cover)
