Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library book with stickers and stamps. Date due slip on inside page. Wear to book corners. Binding is still very good.

Contested Ground provides a comprehensive account of the processes and experiences which shaped the lives of Aboriginal Australians from 1788 to the late 20th Century.

It integrates eye-witness accounts, oral histories and historical research to present the first colony-by-colony, state by state history of Aboriginal-white relations. Contested Ground tells a story of dispossession and denial but it is also a positive account, revealing the persistent struggles of Aboriginal communities for a better future.

Clearly written and generously illustrated, this book demonstrates why Australian Aboriginal history, like the very land itself, remains contested ground. (publisher blurb)
