AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this episode, a recording taken from an in-store event with Anita Heiss, an author, poet, cultural activist and social commentator.

'Heiss’ most recent book, Dirrayawadha, is a groundbreaking historical novel about resistance, resilience and love during the frontier wars. Set in the early 19th century, the book focuses on resistance leader Windradyne, a remarkable figure, and Heiss surrounds him with fascinating figures otherwise lost to history.

'With irresistible imagination and verve, as well as a deep desire for truth telling, Anita Heiss’s novels are an effort in re-peopling our collective past.' (Production summary)
