Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. William Cooper's passionate struggle against the dispossession of Aboriginal people and the denial of their rights and his heroic fight for them to become citizens in their own country has been widely commemorated and celebrated. By carefully reconstructing the historical losses his Yorta Yorta people suffered and endured, William Cooper: An Aboriginal Life Story reveals how the first seventy years of Cooper's life inspired the remarkable political work he undertook in the 1930s. Focusing on Cooper's most important campaigns-his famous petition to the British king George for an Aboriginal representative in the Australian parliament, his call for a day of mourning after 150 years of colonisation, the walk-off of the Yorta Yorta people from Cumeroogunga reserve in 1939 and his opposition to the establishment of an Aboriginal regiment in the Second World War-this carefully researched study sheds important new light on the long struggle that Indigenous people have fought to have the truth about Australia's black history heard and win representation in Australia's political order. Focusing on William Coopers most important campaigns, this carefully researched study sheds important new light on the long struggle that Indigenous people have fought to have the truth about Australias black history heard and win representation in Australias political order.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Most non-Indigenous Australians know of Charles Perkins. Many are familiar with a few other Aboriginal leaders. Yet few have heard of William Cooper, one of the most important Aboriginal leaders in Australia's history. "Thinking Black" tells the story of Cooper and the Australian Aborigines' League, and their campaign for Aboriginal people's rights. Through petitions to government, letters to other campaigners and organisations, and entreaties to friends and well-wishers, the book reveals their passionate struggle against dispossession and displacement, the denial of rights, and their fight to be citizens in their own country. Bain Attwood and Andrew Markus document the circumstances behind the most significant moments in Cooper's political career -- his famous 1933 petition to King George V, his call for a 'Day of Mourning' in 1938, the walk-off from Cummeragunja in 1939 and his opposition to an Aboriginal regiment in 1939. It explores the principles Cooper drew on in his campaigning, not least his 'Letter from an Educated Black', surely one of the most intriguing political testaments by an Australian leader."Thinking Black" sheds new light on the history of what it has meant to be Aboriginal in modern Australia. It reveals the rich and varied cultural traditions, both Aboriginal and British, religious and secular, that have informed Aboriginal people's battle for justice, and their vision of equality in Australia of two peoples: equal yet distinct. Tells the story of William Cooper and the Australian Aborigine's League. It reveals their passionate struggle against dispossession and displacement and their fight to be citizens in their own country. Includes the most significant moments in Cooper's political career and the principles he drew on in his campaigning.

Before 1788, the peoples of this continent did not identify as 'Aboriginal'; this identity emerged following the British invasion. In this original study, Bain Attwood explores how the interactions between black Australians and European colonisers reshaped the indigenous peoples' identities. Focusing on the period after the 'killing times', Attwood offers new insights into racial ideology, government policy, and the rule of law. He examines European domination and the intricate associations formed between Europeans and Aborigines, revealing the complex meanings these relationships held for both groups. The dispossessed are portrayed not as mere victims but as dynamic individuals who adapted to European colonisation based on their historical and cultural contexts. This exchange fostered a new consciousness and a shared identity among the colonised. The narrative of cultural change and continuity is both poignant and unsettling, raising important questions about Aboriginal identity. This well-researched work aims to deepen understanding of white-Aboriginal contact, making it essential reading for those in the field. It highlights the dual nature of colonisation, which, while destructive, also led to the remaking of indigenous peoples into the Aborigines we recognize today.…
