That was my home : voices from the Noongar camps in Fremantle and the Western suburbs / Denise Cook.

DESCRIPTION

AuthorCook, Denise, authorCorporate AuthorCharles and Joy Staples South West Region Publications Fund, issuing bodyDescriptionThat Was My Home explores the hidden histories of the Noongar camps around Fremantle, Swanbourne and Shenton Park in the suburbs of Perth along the Swan River. The focus is the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, a time when many Noongar people lived with their families in camps. The voices of Noongar people, juxtaposed with information from the archives, photographs and stories from others in the community, tell of life in the camps, work, cross-cultural tensions and friendships. Together they give a greater understanding of the shared histories of our suburbs. The author followed Aboriginal cultural protocols in obtaining permission to include stories, photos and other information.ImprintCrawley, Western Australia : UWA Publishing, 2019.; Â©2019Collation242 pages : illustrations, portraits, maps and facsimilies (some colour) ; 25 cm.LanguageEnglishDate Published2019Notes"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peopl are warned that some images in this book are of people who are now deceased"--Title page verso.; Includes bibliographic references (pages 208-235) and index.ISBN9781760800321 (paperback); 1760800325Dewey Class305.89915 COOPublication FormatBook
