Kayang and Me
is a monumental oral-based history of the author's family, the south
coast Noongar people of Western Australia. Scott has interwoven his
Aunty Hazel Brown's words in with his own - creating a wonderful
investigation of contemporary Aboriginal history, in his beautiful
signature style. Kayang - meaning, respectfully, 'Old Lady' - was born in 1925. Through her stingingly candid voice comes the story of her people and her country. |

Dispossesion: Black Australians and White
Invaders by Henry Reynolds ISBN: 0 04 370182 5 One only, used copy of the original 1989 edition: $10. Very good condition. |
Aboriginal and immigrant Australians have shared this continent for over 200 years. Nineteenth century writers were aware of the importance of the Aboriginal presence, but when the colonists began writing their own history, the Aborigines were erased from the account. Recently, this 'history' has been overturned as we rediscover the role of Aborigines in Australia's past. |
