Aboriginal
Australians
by Richard Broome
Book Description: 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.

The
Songlines
by Bruce Chatwin
Said to be Bruce Chatwin's best work, The Songlines pays homage to
the nomadic spirit that prompted his own peripatetic existence, with an
exploration of the "labyrinth of invisible pathways which meander all over
Australia," the "Dreaming-tracks" or "Songlines" of the Aboriginals. At
the peak of his storytelling form, Chatwin weaves memoir, history, science,
and philosophy into an Australian Outback travel tale of brilliance and
beauty. Amazon.com

The
Drover's Boy
by Ted Egan, Robert Ingpen (Illustrator)
Based on a song of the same name and set in the 1920's, The Drover's
Boy recalls the time when it was illegal for Caucasians and Aborigines
to marry, and the death of an Aborigine went unnoticed by the white community.
This popular and moving Australian folk song comes from a true story about
a Caucasian drover (the Australian name for a cowboy or sheep herder) who
is forced to pass off his Aboriginal wife as his "drover's boy". Amazon.com
