Grease and Ochre – The Blending of Two Cultures at the Colonial Sea Frontier | Patsy Cameron | 2016 Reprint | Signed by Author [USED – SC]

Patsy Cameron's examination of the blending of European and Aboriginal Tasmanian cultures on the islands of Bass Strait following European settlement — originally her doctoral thesis at the University of Tasmania, and the foundational academic work on this subject.

Patsy Cameron — Trawlwoolway woman from Flinders Island and author of trouwerner — asks a central and difficult question: did the interaction between Aboriginal Tasmanian women and European sealers on the Bass Strait islands lead to the demise of some Aboriginal clans, or did it conversely ensure the survival of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their culture? The answer she develops across 177 pages is nuanced and carefully evidenced.

This 2016 reprint made the title widely accessible. Buying from The Book Cellar means you can combine this with other Tasmanian Aboriginal history and culture titles - either new or used - in a single parcel.

This copy is signed by author Patsy Cameron.
