AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Little Red Yellow Black Book is an accessible and highly illustrated pocket-sized guide. It's an invaluable introduction to Australia's rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture. It takes a non-chronological approach and is written from an Indigenous viewpoint. The themes that emerge are the importance of identity, and adaptation and continuity. If you want to read stories the media don't tell you, mini-essays on famous as well as everyday individuals and organisations will provide insights into a range of Australian Indigenous experiences.'

'Przeżyłem w Australii 62 lata. Jest to czas, w którym nauczyłem się żyć wśród ludzi o różnym pochodzeniu i narodowości. Tubylcy australijscy, tak jak ja ich widzę, to tradycyjni, poszkodowani przez politykę kolonialną ludzie. W dawnych latach nie słyszało się tak dużo o nich jak teraz. Stąd, szczególnie ważne jest, by literaturę aborygeńską czytał cały świat, bowiem zawiera ona ważne informacje, historię, opisy zwyczajów. Nasuwa się też pewien wniosek, a mianowicie, że tubylcy australijscy, choć od tak dawna skolonizowani, ciągle walczą o swoją tożsamość, Dreamtime i ziemie. Trochę to przypomina historię Polski na przestrzeni wieków.' (Abstract)
