- About the Book
-
‘I believe that an important way to promote understanding, probably the best way, is to encourage the telling of stories. In the case of many Aboriginal people the stories are of a recent history largely concerned with suffering, humiliation and disadvantage. Yet there are also stories of joy and hope … We non-indigenous Australians, we whitefellas, also have our stories drawn from our relationships with the former owners of our country. They may be stories of sorrow, of shame and embarrassment, but also of the joy of adventures shared together, of shared struggle and achievements, of pride in indigenous art, music and writing which now forms part of our culture. This is where Being Whitefella is so special … I believe it will be influential in the building of a united Australia’ — Sir Ronald Wilson.
