Seller's Description:
Boston. 1978. Little Brown. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0316951587. 120 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Rose Srebro. keywords: Literature Australia Aborigine. FROM THE PUBLISHER-From time immemorial, the native race freely roamed Australia's rounded highlands, eucalyptus forests, savanna and desert. The gods, they believed, fashioned this landscape as they strode across the island, planting hidden springs among desert boulders and carving deep canyons with their footsteps. Now mining foremen brazenly trade a bottle of grog for a tract of land. International teams of experts ferret out the mineral treasure of the hills, leaving trails of exploratory blastings behind them. Bulldozers have gashed the hills and leveled the valleys; the thick mangroves, once shrill with animal and bird calls, have been uprooted and hauled away; scared caves and ceremonial tribal places have been dynamited. The water hole where the spirit of an ancestor lodges is now buried in a boomtown square; the vast open mine that operates day and night blankets a nearby town in a thick cloud of dust. The native tell their own stories: a native on a mountain peak gently importunes Jambawal, the Thunder Man (Cyclone to the white man), to sweep his island clean of the white man's blighting touch; an Abo, tracking one of his own kind for the white man, deliberately leads the search party to death in the desert; a prisoner dreams of becoming a fly with the help of his grandfather's spirit and escaping his unjust incarceration through the pigeonhole near the ceiling of his cell; a native-turned-minister finds himself, at death, denied both Christian and tribal burial. The narrator of each of Wongar's stories travels the track to Bralgu. (When an aborigine dies, his spirit splits in three parts: ‘one goes to Bralgu to join the ancestors; another visits on the bottom of the totemic water hole and waits to be reborn; while the third, the Mogwoi, they call it, wanders around tribal country. ') For Wongar's aborigine today, Bralgu is the only refuge from ‘ a strange country which ceased to be mine long ago. ' inventory #2714.
