A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF
THE BLACK PRESENCE IN AUSTRALIA
Compiled by RUNOKO RASHIDI
"Ever since the invasion of our country by English soldiers and then colonists in the late eighteenth century, Aborigines have endured a history of land theft, attempted racial extermination, oppression, denial of basic human rights, actual and de facto slavery, ridicule, denigration, inequality and paternalism. Concurrently, we suffered the destruction of our entire way of life--spiritual , emotional, social and economic. The result is the Aboriginal of twentieth century Australia--a man without hope or happiness, without a land, without an identity, a culture or a future."
