Australia: Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1981 « Even yet the great majority of people do not realize that the culture and social customs of the Australian Aborigines are a unique survival from the distant past. What to us is only too often a treeless, desert waste, where the mirage mocks the weary traveller, is to them a homeland with a story or legend attached to every feature. In the fascinating pages of Brown Men and Red Sand the author takes us back into the remote past, and enables us to share in daily life of An anthropologist's well-written account of time spent among Aboriginal tribes in Central Australia in the 1930s and 40s. A marvellous and sensitive evocation of traditional Aboriginal culture just on the point of being completely diluted by mission lifestyles and incursions into tribal lands by white European settlers.».
