Jandamarra and the Bunuba Resistance

WINNER, 1996 WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PREMIER'S BOOK AWARDS, HISTORICAL & CRITICAL STUDIES AWARD

New Edition

The true story of the Aboriginal resistance fighter, Jandamarra, whose legend is etched into the Australian landscape. Set in the Kimberley outback during the late nineteenth century, the last stage of Australia's invasion is played out in the lands of the Bunuba people. Leases are marked across Aboriginal country and, amidst the chaos and turmoil, extraordinary and sometimes contradictory relationships develop. A powerful collaboration between a non-Indigenous historian and the Indigenous custodians of the Jandamarra story.
