Klappentext
This important book recovers the long tradition of indigenous transnationalism - contact with external people, institutions, ideas - throughout Australia's history from before white settlement to the present.


Zusammenfassung
From the early 1970s, Indigenous Australians helped build a global movement of indigenous peoples, reforming international institutions and discussions about human rights. This book is a transnational history of indigenous Australians. It closes by assessing the achievements of the struggle, both within and outside Australia.
