Description: In the creation of a new society there are always winners and losers. So it was with Australia as it grew through invasion, settlement and development, from a colonial outpost to an affluent industrial society.

This book tells the history of Australia from the standpoint of those who were dispossessed, the original Australians. Surveying two centuries of Aboriginal-European encounters, it reveals what white Australia lost through unremitting colonial invasion and tells the story of Aboriginal survival through resistance and accommodation. It traces the Aboriginal journey from the margins of colonial society to a more central place in modern Australia.

Aboriginal Australians first appeared in 1982 and has won wide readership. This new enlarged edition brings the story up to the mid-1990s. It remains the only concise and up-to-date survey of Aboriginal history since 1788.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [263]-267) and index.
