In this illustrated history of Australia, the author takes up three deep-rooted themes which are also new to most histories of Australia. They are the part played by Aborigines since pre-history, by the navigator-explorers long before white settlement, and by women in the white, male-dominated society of the past two centuries.
Outspoken and radical, original and profound, this book is written in a muscular prose style that continually presents the reader with new insights, made all the more illuminating by the carefully researched and planned illustrations.
