We Won the Victory: Aborigines and Outsiders on the North-West Coast of the Kimberley by Ian Crawford

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on foredges. Body text and binding are still very good. Review copy with sticker attached to inside front cover.

We Won the Victory tells the story of contact between the Aboriginal people of the north-west Kimberley coastal region and various intruders upon their land. These include 'Indonesian' fishermen, white explorers, pearlers, pastoralists, beachcombers, missionaries and the military. At the centre of the book are the Aboriginal stories of those events, but Ian Crawford also draws on written evidence to provide context. (inside cover)
