The Historical Dictionary of Australian Aborigines relates the history
of Australia's indigenous inhabitants from their arrival on the
continent 60,000 years ago to the centuries long European colonization
process starting in the 1600s to their role in today's Australia. This
is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive
bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on
significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of
culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent
access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more
about Australian Aboriginal peoples.
