Uncommon Ground : White women in Aboriginal history

Sensitive to criticism of white historians' treatment of Australian Aboriginal subjects as a form of neo-colonialism, Cole (New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service) presents a dozen indigenous viewpoints on the relations between native people and white women settlers, missionaries, assimilationist boarding school administrators, and activists. Also included is a biography of Pearl Gibbs (1901-1983), an Aboriginal activist who worked with white feminists, photos, and art. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
