East Coast Encounters 1770, reflections on a cultural clash
Curby Pauline, Co-ordinating Editor 2020
This book looks back on the first recorded contact between the Aboriginal people of Australia’s East Coast and Europeans. It presents a new assessment of these extraordinary events when James Cook and the Endeavour crew landed on our shores 250 years ago. This compilation of ten articles by different authors (Indigenous and European) provides for the general community a range of perspectives on the clash of cultures and debunks the various myths that either hero-worship or vilify Cook.
