'Whitefella Way is photographer and historian Jon Rhodes’s follow up to his much acclaimed Cage of Ghosts, published in 2018. Both are produced by Darkwood in large format replete with illustrations that include historical and contemporary maps, artworks, historical photographs and images taken by Rhodes himself over many years of pondering, while travelling, portraying the relationship between black and white ways of making sacred monuments and significant sites. In particular, both books explore Aboriginal carved trees, bora grounds and grave sites, and their destruction and preservation by the Europeans who dispossessed their makers. Both books weave personal encounters and primary source research sensitively. Both are beautiful works by way of content and design' (Introduction)
