Description
"In the first years of the 19th century a small Aboriginal tribe reels under the threat of white invasion of their ancestral lands. Fada, a missionary from London, is attempting to impose a Christian God over their ancient beliefs. Fada and his wife Mada bring with them disease and despair, along with a message of hope - the result of their own Cockney dreaming." "This novel by Mudrooroo Nyoongah (Colin Johnson), author of the acclaimed Wild Cat Falling, is a story of survival - physical, show more metaphysical and magical. It is also the story of Jangamuttuk, the custodian of the Ghost Dreaming, and his shamanistic efforts to will his tribe back to its own promised land."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
