Told from the perspective of Australia's first people, it vividly brings to life the events that unfolded when the oldest living culture in the world was overrun by the world's greatest empire.Seven of Australia's leading historians reveal the true stories of individuals-both black and white-caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history. Their story begins in 1788 in Warrane, now known as Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishman, Governor Phillip, and the kidnapped warrior Bennelong. It ends in 1993 with Koiki Mabo's legal challenge to the foundation of Australia.Aboriginal Australians, Treatment ofAboriginal AustraliansHistoryPictorial worksAboriginal AustraliansHistoryAustraliaHistoryElectronic books.Aboriginal Australians, Treatment of.Aboriginal AustraliansHistoryAboriginal AustraliansHistory.994.0049915Perkins Rachel1970-,Langton Marcia1951-,Atkinson WayneBoyce James(Historian),Kimber Richard(Richard G.),Kinnane Stephen1967-,Loos NoelPascoe Bruce1947-,AuAdUSAAuAdUSABOOK9910480519203321First Australians2008368UNINA
