Serving our Country: Indigenous Australians, War, Defence and Citizenship edited by Joan Beaumont and Allison Cadzow

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers or stamps on the inside. Wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still very good.

While Indigenous Australians have enlisted in the defence forces since the Boer War, for much of this time they defied racist restrictions. They were denied full citizenship rights on their return to civilian life.

In Serving Our Country, Mick Dodson, John Maynard, Joan Beaumont, Noah Riseman, Alison Cadzow, and others reveal the courage, resilience, and trauma of Indigenous defence personnel and their families, documenting the long struggle to gain recognition for their role in defending Australia.
