Trade routes from the coast to the lush Tablelands and beyond linked established settlements; outrigger canoes voyaged along the coast and out into the Great Barrier Reef. Today, 130 years after the coming of white people, the Djugabay is a remnant, their lands taken away from them, their Storywaters partially lost. But the Djabugay are determined to make their way in a transformed world. This is the story of the Djabugay and their struggle - what happened to them and how it happened to them. It takes the reader from first contact between the rainforest dwellers and the newcomers, to the present day. Through accounts of the lives of families and individuals, it shows how out of dispossession and tragedy has come strength and hope. The story of the Djabugay is one that demonstrates not only what happened to a small group of traditional people caught in the expansion of the white frontier, but what happened all over Australia.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584000368913,"sku":"GOR005356369","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49627762557201,"sku":"GOR005255598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1865080314.jpg?v=1751028166"},{"product_id":"conspiracy-of-silence-book-timothy-bottoms-9781743313824","title":"Conspiracy of Silence","description":"'This is an important, well researched book: challenging, compelling and controversial. It is a must read for anyone interested in Australian history.' - Henry ReynoldsThe Queensland frontier was more violent than any other Australian colony. From the first penal settlement at Moreton Bay in 1824, as white pastoralists moved into new parts of country, violence invariably followed. Many tens of thousands of Aboriginals were killed on the Queensland frontier. Europeans were killed too, but in much smaller numbers.The cover-up began from the start: the authorities in Sydney and Brisbane didn't want to know, the Native Police did their deadly work without hindrance, and the pastoralists had every reason to keep it to themselves. Even today, what we know about the killing times is swept aside again and again in favour of the pioneer myth.Conspiracy of Silence is the first systematic account of frontier violence in Queensland. Following in the tracks of the pastoralists as they moved into new lands across the state in the nineteenth century, Timothy Bottoms identifies massacres, poisonings and other incidents, including many that no-one has documented in print before. He explores the colonial mindset and explains how the brutal dispossession of Aboriginal landowners continued over decades.'. a road-map back into what seems, from a modern perspective, to be a barely conceivable past.' - From the foreword by Raymond Evans","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628523856145,"sku":"GOR010445389","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1743313829.jpg?v=1758966913"},{"product_id":"operation-daybreak-dvd-0883316276143","title":"Operation Daybreak","description":"Poetry. JANUARY FOUND is a hallucinary of the contemporary, its poems contemporous wonder rooms filled with the outside noise of our culture. I didn't even know that January was lost until Michael Sikkema found it for me here, leading the way for the other months looking to speak the future as these poems do: with incision, wit, and an oblique and energetic intelligence.--Gary Barwin\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The power of wandering is not a searching, but--in its anti-quest--the unpredictable magic of what is found. JANUARY FOUND reads like an uncanny artifact, a parapocalyptic field report from a betwixtuation. Situated only by always moving between 'Wander Rooms and Outside Noise, ' between the State and 'the eros of thanatos, ' Michael Sikkema's soundings glimmer with contingency and think 'like a kite on fire.' These are the voices in the wall with no one on the other side, owl songs as deciphered by a complicated keeper, the lust fumes that billow out of penned in perennials and exceed their containment. JANUARY FOUND is a dreamtime of perimeters, where poles collapse and break into countless tiny bones that make new instruments and new dancers. There is steamblue music here and whiskey. You will want to stay a while.--Elisabeth Workman\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Michael Sikkema's poems are both carefully honed and fun to read. Each word seems to be happy where it is, and this can be funny, too.--Aram Saroyan\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What if animals have become bourgeois subjects? What if bourgeois subjects have always been animals? Are cash cows historical actors? What if you are a penned in perennial questioning 'nature'? These and so many pivotal queries line the brain- body of this feisty book. Recipes for disaster necessitate much animal bi-product. Apologists calm the herd. Nature is a bastion for total recognition.

First published in 1939, Dalton Trumbo's story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I-- he survives armless, legless, and faceless, but with mind intact-- was an immediate bestseller. This fiercely moving novel was a rallying point for many Americans who came of age during World War I, and it became perhaps the most popular novel of protest during the Vietnam era. \u003cp\u003eCitadel Underground's edition of Johnny Got His Gun features a powerful new introduction by Ron Kovic, author of Born on the Fourth of July, and also includes an introduction by Dalton Trumbo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnny Got His Gun still remains the most powerful piece of writing to influence me after Vietnam.
