Master of the Ghost Dreaming by Mudrooroo

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still very good. The price sticker on the synopsis page is now covered with a small blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

In the first years of the 19th century, a small Aboriginal tribe reels under the threat of white invasion of their ancestral lands.

Fada, a missionary from London, is attempting to impose a Christian God over their ancient beliefs. Fada and his wife Mada bring disease, despair, and a message of hope, the result of their own Cockney dreaming.

This novel by Mudrooroo Nyoongah is a story of physical, metaphysical and magical survival. It is also the story of Jangamuttuk, the custodian of the Ghost Dreaming, and his shamanistic efforts to will his tribe back to its own promised land. (back cover)
