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. Previous owner has added a large inscribed to inside page.

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 from documentary and oral evidence, the book meticulously and compellingly describes the ways in which 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.
