Index
Told through the words of key activists, Invasion to Embassy presents a bold account of Aboriginal responses to invasion and dispossession in NSW.
Heather Goodall is professor emerita of history at the University of Technology, Sydney.
'Invasion to Embassy is one of the most important works published
in the field of Aboriginal history over the last decade. It is an
unusual book in the context of 1990s publishing: long, with over
360 pages of text, full endnotes and a 15-page bibliography, the
product of over 20 years of painstaking research. It is as close to
a definitive study of its
subject as we are likely to have.'
