Beyond the Lattice: Broome's Early Years by Susan Sickert

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed title page. Body text and binding are still excellent.

In Beyond the Lattice Susan Sickert seeks answers to questions about the little-known history of Broome. She steps off the verandah, away from the pearlers’ world of privilege, privacy and power. She looks instead for the heart of the town through the lives of the thousands of Asian, Aboriginal and mixed-race men and women who lived here.

A rare insight into the people, politics, colour and atmosphere that have created this fascinating town. (publisher blurb)

Richly illustrated.

Susan Sickert passed away in early 2018.
