Description:In November 2004, Mulrunji Doomadgee’s tragic death triggered civil unrest within the Indigenous community of Palm Island.

Despite prolonged media attention, much of it negative and full of stereotypes, few Australians know the turbulent history of ‘Australia’s Alcatraz’, a political prison set up to exile Queensland’s ‘troublesome blacks’. In Palm Island, Joanne Watson gives the first substantial history of the island from pre‐contact to the present, set against a background of some of the most explosive episodes in Queensland history. Palm Island, often heart‐wrenching and at times uplifting, is a study in the dynamics of power and privilege, and how it is resisted.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
