1 y separately published work icon In Defence of Country : Life Stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Servicemen and Women Noah Riseman , Acton : Aboriginal History Inc. Australian National University Press , 2016 9301802 2016 single work biography

'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been protecting country since time immemorial. One way they have continued these traditions in recent times is through service in the Australian military, both overseas and within Australia. In Defence of Country presents a selection of life stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ex-servicemen and women who served in the Australian Army, Navy and Air Force after World War Two. In their own words, participants discuss a range of issues including why they joined up; racial discrimination; the Stolen Generations; leadership; discipline; family; war and peace; education and skills development; community advocacy; and their hopes for the future of Indigenous Australia. Individually and collectively, the life stories in this book highlight the many contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women have made, and continue to make, in defence of country.'

1 y separately published work icon Rebellion at Coranderrk Diane Elizabeth Barwick , Canberra : Aboriginal History Inc. , 1998 7519080 1998 single work criticism

'Follows the struggle of the Victorian Wurundjeri people, and others, to retain control of the Coranderrk Aboriginal station, a fight that they ultimately lost. It is these events which Diane Barwick describes and analyses.'

'The publication of this book is an attempt to rectify some of the injustices of the past two hundred years, and to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The 'rebellion' at Coranderrk is reflected in current political events. This book is a parable for today.' (Source: Publisher's website; Fishpond website)

1 y separately published work icon In the Best Interest of the Child? : Stolen Children : Aboriginal Pain, White Shame Tikka Jan Wilson (editor), Canberra : Aboriginal History Inc. , 1997 Z1598822 1997 anthology poetry life story short story oral history correspondence (taught in 1 units)

'Separating Aboriginal children from family and community began as soon as Europeans set foot on our land. The belief that it is in the best interest of Aboriginal children to be removed from Aboriginal culture and assimilated into White culture has justified the systematic disruption of Aboriginal families. This book traces the history of removing Aboriginal children in New South Wales and contains testimonies of Aboriginals whose lives have been profoundly and painfully altered by separation. The book grew out of a submission of Link-Up (NSW) Aboriginal Corporation to the 1996 Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission (HREOC) National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families.'
