The White Men: The first response of aboriginal peoples to the white man
Author(s): Julia Blackburn
Secondhand.
A tribute to the will to survive the impact of European arrivals, a reflection of our civilization seen through indigenous people's eyes. Gathered together for the first time, are the responses and impressions of the native populations of the advent of the white man onto their shores. "Always, the white men were aliens whose behaviour, appearance, believes and social conditions were carefully watched and assessed."
