Born into This - short stories from a Tasmanian aboriginal writer

		(0 reviews)

Adam Thompson's short stories throw light on a world of unique cultural practice and perspective, from Indigenous rangers trying to instil some pride in wayward urban teens on the harsh islands off the coast of Tasmania, to those scraping by on the margins of white society railroaded into complex and compromised decisions.

Written with a mix of humour, pathos and occasionally a sly twist as the characters confront racism, untimely funerals, classroom politics and, overhanging all like a discomforting, burgeoning awareness for both white and black Australia, the inexorable damage and disappearance of the remnant natural world.

This is a USED book; it shows some signs of use but is in generally very good condition. Please contact the bookshop, Just Tassie Books at The Book Cellar, if you require additional detailed photos and description of condition before purchasing.
