Aboriginal Australians : first nations of an ancient continent
Muecke, Stephen, 1951-2004
Book
In the 18th century, as European colonization proceeded, one continent remained to be discovered, the Terra Australis incognita. This had been inhabited for over 60,000 years by the Aborigines, who were described by the first explorers as the 'miserablest people in the world'. This perception is dispeled in this text.
