Killing Me Softly: The Destruction of a Heritage by Phyl and Noel Wallace

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to half-title and title pages.

They live in the shadows of the white man's world, the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people of the Western Desert. We took their hunting grounds, their women and children, and we now seek to embalm a living culture for commercial gain. Cave Hill is in South Australia, and it is about to join Ayers Rock and a string of desecrated sites that tourists heedlessly tramp.

Killing Me Softly is the cry of the spiritly dispossessed. It is also a lucid description of Aboriginal philosophy and a devastating account of the systematic destruction of a lifestyle and a spiritual heritage.
