They were the solution, if only whitefellas had been able to see it.’ —Germaine Greer, Whitefella Jump Up‘An essay about sitting down and thinking where all the politics start and what kind of legend Australia wants to place at its heart.’ —Peter Craven‘Highly charged and instantly controversial.’ —Morag Fraser, Australian Book Review‘Australia might well benefit from a new national narrative that recognizes its post-colonial status and fragile ecology, and pays more attention to its Aboriginal heritage.’ —Robbie Hudson, the Sunday Times‘Brilliant and original … A powerful polemic, skillfully organised, thoughtful and beautifully written.’ —Philip Knightley, the Independent ReviewGermaine Greer is a renowned writer, academic and journalist.
