Publisher's Synopsis
The essays in this important book chart the progress in establishing the Aboriginal dimension as a proper part of Australian culture and history. From John Mulvaney's seminal contribution of thirty years ago, which was the first to show any awareness of the Aboriginal culture, through Peter Corris' essay written in the immediate aftermath of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra, to two new chapters by John Mulvaney and Jackie Huggins, a young Aboriginal woman, "Through White Eyes" provides an authoritative chronicle of the movement which has begun to accord Aborigines their rightful place in Australia's past.
