This book was first published in 1992. Aboriginal people in
Australia's Gulf Country had been dealing with Whites for more than
one hundred years. Whitefella Comin' depicts life at Doomadgee, an
Aboriginal settlement administered by Brethren missionaries from
the early 1930s until 1983. Dr Trigger's portrayal of life at
Doomadgee was the first to be published by an anthropologist about
such a settlement in Queensland. Through detailed historical and
ethnographic study, the author seeks understanding of Aboriginal
responses to the intrusions of Australian society. He examines
coercion and violence on the frontier, the incorporation of
Aboriginal people into the pastoral industry and their reactions to
both the authoritarianism and benevolent paternalism of Christian
missionaries. The influence of government policies and
administrative practices is examined throughout the book. In
addressing the structures and processes of power relations between
Aborigines and Whites, the author develops an analysis of
resistance and accommodation on the part of Aboriginal people.
