1st edition softback with stiff wrappers Nice copy small octavo xiii + 320pp., b/w plates, text ills., maps, notes, bibliog., index, By the end of the 19th century, at the height of Queensland's Aboriginal protectionist-policy practice, the idea of establishing two government-controlled Aboriginal reserves at either end of the state was nearing realisation. The reserve established in Queensland's south began as Barambah in 1901 and was later renamed Cherbourg. Variously described as bold, well meaning and misguided, it was a social experiment in institutional control that was to impact on the lives of thousands of Aboriginal families in ways that continue to this day. Paper toning o/w a nice copy of a scarce title.
