Aboriginal Australians: A History Since 1788
(13)

Free Two-Day Shipping for College Students with Amazon Student

Surveying two centuries of Aboriginal-European encounters, this powerful and comprehensive history of Australian race relations from colonial times to the present day traces the continuing Aboriginal struggle to move from the margins of colonial society to a rightful place in a modern nation. Here, the history of Australia is related from the standpoint of the original Australians--those who lost most in the country's early colonial struggle for power--revealing just how much white Australia lost through unremitting colonial invasion, and relating the story of Aboriginal survival through resistance and accommodation. This fully updated edition explains the land rights struggle since Mabo; the Hindmarsh Island case; debates over the "stolen generation," "sorry," and reconciliation; and the contemporary Aboriginal Australian experience.

Fair appraisal

July 10, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Without being an expert, the book appeared to be a fair appraisal of a complex situation. However, With only about 2% of the population being indigenous it is quite incredulous that the Australian government and its people cannot find it in their hearts to restore the dignity of a great race.

Informative and Easy to Read

January 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book does a good job of covering a very complex topic from a perspective often not taken. I found it to be well balanced, giving credit and culpability in equally conservative degrees. If you are looking into the subject of Christianity and its encounter with Aboriginal Australia this is a great resource. I used it along with many others to write a large research paper, and this was one of my favorites to both read and quote.

Important Information but Repetitive

February 5, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is interesting but a bit tedious. It goes into great detail which at first is interesting but the subject matter is very repetitive causing my interest to lessen to the point where I began skimming rather than reading. The Aborigines were treated horribly as were the slaves in the United States. Basically this statement is repeated in many variations over and over.

THE TRUTH - ABORIGNAL HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA SINCE INVASION BY BRITISH.

August 9, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book has given me an insight to the atrocities that Aborignal people lived through in the early days of "our" colony. The British treated them in such a way that has affected them right up until this day and age. I am grateful that Richard Broome has written such an honest book.

Was a better and historical version of Australia than the ones I had read. Gave me a clearer picture of the Aboriginies of Australia.

I bought this book before going to Australia. The Aboriginal Australians are incredibly interesting: 500,000 people living on the narrow strip of land around the seacoast and no warfare. Broome's work is rather tedious and dry at times, but he is a meticulous researcher so you won't get a bunch of rumors and legends. Not an easy read, but an informative one.

Excellent historical background to Australia's founding. I actually used this book extensively in a University assignment covering Indigenous interaction with the Australian Criminal Justice System. Would recommend it to any researcher.
