Opis

This book charts the previously untold story of the mobility of Indigenous peoples across vast distances, vividly reshaping what is known about decolonisation.

Recenzje

'The book is beautifully written. Chapter titles include words like currents and churn, saltwater and flight and reflect the oceanic geography essential to the book. Story is artfully deployed, creating interest as new chapters begin, yet skilfully opening lines of analysis.' Steve Taylor, Mission Studies
