The highly regarded history of Australia's First Nations people since colonisation, fully updated for this fifth edition.

'The vast sweeping story of Aboriginal Australia from 1788 is told in Richard Broome's typical lucid and imaginative style. This is an important work of great scholarship, passion and imagination.' - Professor Lynette Russell, Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies, Monash University

In the creation of any new society, there are winners and losers. So it was with Australia as it grew from a colonial outpost to an affluent society.

Richard Broome tells the history of Australia from the standpoint of the original Australians: those who lost most in the early colonial struggle for power. Surveying over two centuries of Aboriginal-European encounters, he shows how white settlers steadily supplanted the original inhabitants, from the shining coasts to inland deserts, by sheer force of numbers, disease, technology and violence. He also tells the story of Aboriginal survival through resistance and accommodation, and traces the continuing Aboriginal struggle to move from the margins of a settler society to a more central place in modern Australia.

Broome's Aboriginal Australians has long been regarded as the most authoritative account of black-white relations in Australia. This fifth edition continues the story, covering the impact of the Northern Territory Intervention, the mining boom in remote Australia, the Uluru Statement, the resurgence of interest in traditional Aboriginal knowledge and culture, and the new generation of Aboriginal leaders.

'Richard Broome's historical analysis breaks the back of every theoretical argument about colonialism and establishes a clear pathway to understanding the present situation.'
Sharon Meagher, Aboriginal Education Development Officer, Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide

    This book is an accurate historical account of the racism against Australia's First Nation People by European settlers.

    This book has altered my view of my country. The inferences are casual in places, and summary judgements of people and ideas are numerous. It also tends to become much more polemical as the narrative approaches the present day. Yet, for all that, it has helped this sheltered white Australian peel back a layer of his ignorance of the aboriginal experience.

    Whilst one cannot deny that Broome has read his history, and indeed been writing it over nearly 40 years the current volume comes across to this historian and epidemiologist (PhD and M Med Sci) very much as a curate's egg. It's an interesting read, but when one has also looked deeper in to the bucket of resources, the primary sources and others' academic research, one is aware that there are points where Broome's interpretation of chronicle as history is advanced as though it were fact, and indeed there may well be alternative interpretations. I would suggest that a non-professional historian should read it with care, and be careful when basing one's opinions on its statements.
