Description

Adam in Ochre. Inside Aboriginal Australia by Colin Simpson. 'Colin Simpson, in Adam in Ochre takes the reader into fascinating parts of Australia which are taboo to the ordinary traveller. You climb the hill of Inyaluk to its painted caves of remarkable aboriginal art, share the sight and sound of the Balnooknook corroboree, meet the living Mosek whom Ted Shawn named as one of the world's greatest dance artists, feel the beauty of a great billabong lagoon white with birds at dawn. The last chapter, which discusses the future of the aborigines and the controversial policy of assimilation, has been completely re-written for this new edition. Adam in Ochre has been called "the most readable and significant book yet written on the natives of Australia" and "a must on the bookshelves of anyone interested in the human kind". The dust jacket has light to medium general wear and now covered with clear plastic. The book remains tight and very tidy. A LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
