Barry Morris

Reviews

'In his well documented and careful research Morris goes far beyond a mere recitation of the factual events that have occurred in Australia, with regard to the Aborigines in the past 150 years, into a useful discourse relating to power and domination...This book is of interest to those who are concerned about the indigenous populations throughout the world - from the Native American issue in the United States to the South African Homelands.'
