BOOKS ABOUT ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN FRONTIER WARS AND MASSACRES

In the mid-1990s a contemporary Aboriginal Australian glass sculptor with an international reputation sets out to build a glass cenotaph to commemorate the 20,000 or more First Nations warriors who died resisting the British invasion a century ago. He withstands the violent racist and political opposition to his project, and succeeds.

The historical period is evoked with cultural sensitivity and surprising accuracy, and the theme is one more step in the long march towards acknowledgement, truth and reconciliation.

Readers interested books about the Aboriginal Australian frontier wars and massacres will find this imaginative and memorable story fascinating and rewarding.
