Max Brown's account of the Pilbara Strike of 1946-1949 by Aboriginal pastoral workers.

The Black Eureka is a story of black power pre-dating the black power movement in the United States. The struggle, though protracted and bitter, was non-violent and directed not against the 'whites'. With the support of the white organised working class, the strike was against those same squatters whom Peter Lalor and the diggers had defeated on the Eureka claim at Ballarat. (book flap)
