Sobre este artículo
Perth, Claremont / Adelaide: Freshwater Bay Press / Seaview Press, 2009. Paperback wide trade, very good plus condition, black & white photos, minimal edgewear. 117 pp. This book by Diana Giese is about the Giese family arriving in Darwin in 1954. Darwin was an outpost, ruined by bombing raids during WW2, in a country that was itself searching for a role in the post-war world. In this portrayal of her family's involvement in the process of reconstruction that led eventually to self-government, the author - daughter of Harry and Nancy, both post-war pioneers - shows how the people of the Top End, of many different backgrounds, created a new kind of community. Assisted by a Northern Territory Archives Service History Grant. Lengthy discussion of indigenous communities.
