Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Blank sticker on inside front cover, covering date due slip remnant. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on foredges, particularly tail foredge. Interior and binding are still very good.

Evonne Goolagong, Cathy Freeman, Nova Peris, Lionel Rose, Artie Beetson and Polly Farmer are just a few of our Australian sporting heroes who, since the mid-1880s, have helped shape Australia’s identity as a great sporting nation.

They, along with 261 other individual sporting greats, are showcased here in this new edition of the Aboriginal and Islander Sports Hall of Fame. Spanning 36 sports across 166 years, Black Pearls presents some of our Olympic heroes, superb sportswomen, football giants, boxing legends, lightning sprinters and more – from darts champions to world-class weightlifters and woodchoppers.

Black Pearls is more than a sports book. It reveals a history of inclusion and exclusion, about Aboriginal determination in the face of enormous obstacles, resilience in overcoming remoteness, discriminatory laws, incarceration on isolated reserves, and opponents in various sports arenas. (back cover)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
