Written in the 1990s during the period of land rights and claims with all the discord and angst that caused. this is a well written tale of aborigines seeking to find their way in the white world as well as claiming their ancestry and culture in order to keep them alive. Seems to be well researched, although I really wouldn't know as my own knowledge is scanty. A fascinating exploration of the various attitudes to the issues - aborigines with a strong understanding of their history and clture, aborigines who had been removed from experiencing these, pastoralists of both recent and long held roles, city people with little exposure to the culture and issues, non-aborigines who has worked with the communities and culture for extensive periods and understood teh issues.

Deutlich besser als "The Valley", da sich alles um die Kultur der Ureinwohner dreht. Eine traditionelle Community läd Anwälte und andere zum Campen ein. Ganz schön, aber ist nicht Patricia Shaw! ;) ( )
