| Summary |
The Arrernte people of Central Australia first encountered Europeans in the 1860s as groups of explorers, pastoralists, missionaries and labourers invaded their land. This is the first study to address Arrernte's contemporary situation and also documents the immense sociocultural changes. D. Austin-Broos, University of Sydney. |
