Colonialism and its Aftermath: A History of Aboriginal South Australia edited by Peggy Brockman and Tom Gara

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some faint marks on tail foredge. Interior and binding are still excellent.

The state of South Australia was a British imperial construct, its borders determined by three straight lines, with no reference to the Aboriginal presence.

Despite catastrophic interventions in the lives of Aboriginal people during and following colonisation, many communities retain strong identities and cultural and linguistic knowledge, rooted in a deep connection to the land.

Colonialism and its Aftermath traces the ongoing impact of colonialism on Aboriginal individuals, communities and cultures, the disruptions and displacements it has caused, and Aboriginal responses to these challenges.

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