About This Item
Melbourne, Collingwood: Black Inc., 2022. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white text-photos, maps, minor edgewear. 338 pp. Dean Ashenden relates a combination of memoir, reportage and political and intellectual history. He returns to Tennant Creek after 50 years where he lived as a boy. He finds the town transformed, but its silence about the past is still mostly intact. In the moving finale, he goes back to Tennant Creek once more to meet for the first time some of his Aboriginal contemporaries, and to asks how the truths of Australia's story can best be told. The main theme is the strange career of the great Australian silence as regards Indigenous Australians.
