| Summary Note |
"While Indigenous Australians have enlisted in the defence forces since the Boer War, for much of this time they defied racist restrictions and were denied full citizenship rights on their return to civilian life. Based on oral histories and contributions from John Maynard, Joan Beaumont, Allison Cadzow, Mick Dodson, Siobhan McDonnell, Noah Riseman, Samuel Furphy, Tristan Moss, Geoffrey Gray and Shannyn Palmer, 'Serving our country' reveals the courage, resilience, and trauma of Indigenous defence personnel and their families. It documents the long struggle to gain recognition for their role in the defence of Australia." - Back cover. |
