Aboriginal Australians First Nations of an Ancient Continent: S. Muecke (engl.) 128 S.

A highly illustrated pocket book looking at the history and culture of the Australian Aborigines.

This concise pocket guide to the social and cultural history of Aboriginal Australia traces the origins of these people through to the present day. The authors explore their social structure, spiritual beliefs, the Aboriginal relationship with the land and animal world, and their art and literature, which has recently enjoyed a major revival and is now used to represent Australian heritage.

The years of colonialism and the impact this has had on the indigenous population is obviously covered as well, as is a discussion of how they managed to survive and maintain their identity.
