AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Consisting entirely of extracts from the Minutes of Evidence of the [1881 Government] Inquiry [into Coranderrk], Coranderrk : We Will Show the Country unites the power of oral history and the authority of the written-word to forge a personal connection with the voices of the past; allowing key figures such as William Barak and several of the men and women of Coranderrk - as well as their allies and opponents in the white community - to speak directly to a contemporary audience.' (Media release, 2011 season)

[Review Essay] Coranderrk: We Will Show the Country
2015
single work
review
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , June no. 1 2015; (p. 135-136)
— Review of Coranderrk : We Will Show the Country 2010 single work drama'Coranderrk: we will show the country is the result of an intensive and fruitful collaboration between University of Melbourne historian Giordano Nanni and the director and playwright Andrea James. Conceived as part of the Australian Research Council–funded ‘Minutes of evidence’ project, it brings to the stage the events of the 1881 Parliamentary Inquiry into the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve. The book is, at the same time, a scholarly historical study of the Coranderrk Reserve, a script of the stage production and an examination of the complex creative processes undertaken by the authors during the development of the project.'
