My Natives and I: Incorporating the Passing of the Aborigines: A Lifetime Spent Among the Natives of Australia by Daisy Bates edited by P J Bridge with an Introduction by Bob Reece

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The Passing of the Aborigines was one of the most influential books about Australia ever published.

Daisy Bates' record of her lifetime among the Aborigines has been criticised, however anthropologists, historians, and all those interested in Aboriginal Australia have begun to realise that her knowledge cannot be lightly dismissed.

In this edition, the original 1936 newspaper series has been integrated with the 1938 book, giving a wider view of Daisy Bates and her times. An extensive new introduction supplies background to Daisy, her associates and her writing. (publisher blurb)
