The Other Side of the Frontier: Aboriginal Response to the Invasion of Australia by Henry Reynolds

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Minor mark on tail foredge. Body text and binding are still very good.

The publication of this book in 1981 profoundly changed how we understand the history of relations between Indigenous Australians and European settlers. It has since become a classic of Australian history.

Drawing on documentary and oral evidence, the book meticulously and compellingly describes how Aborigines responded to the arrival of Europeans. Henry Reynolds' argument that the Aborigines resisted fiercely was highly original when first published and is no less challenging today.
