Sinossi
Excerpt from The Aborigines of Western Australia

Nevertheless, during my wander ings through Western Australia, in the capacity of a mining engineer, I came across a good many of the natives; and taking a profound interest in everything connected with the colony I resolved to set down in brief and simple form such facts as I could glean regarding this most curious specimen of the human race.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a captivating insight into the fascinating world of Western Australian aboriginal people. Shifting the focus away from the commonly held misconceptions of otherworldly savagery, the author pulls back the curtain, revealing a vibrant community steeped in complex spirituality, social structures, and traditions. The text delves into the challenges they faced due to the often-violent encroachment of British colonizers, how European diseases wreaked havoc upon their population, and how they lost their hunting grounds. It also takes a critical look at the role of Christian missionaries who, while undoubtedly providing humanitarian aid, nonetheless sowed seeds of cultural conflict. Despite encountering adversity, the book records the resilience of aboriginal people, showcasing their extraordinary capacity to preserve and celebrate their heritage, including their rich vocabulary, intricate kinship systems, and the enduring performance of songs and ceremonies.
