Invasion to Embassy challenges the conventional view of Aboriginal
politics to present a bold new account of Aboriginal responses to
invasion and dispossession in New South Wales. At the core of these
responses has been land: as a concrete goal, but also as a rallying
cry, a call for justice and a focal point for identity. This rich
story is told through the words and memories of many of the key
activists who were involved in the struggles on the lands and in
the towns of New South Wales. By exploring interactions between
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people over land, this book enables
us to understand our history through the reality of the conflicts,
tensions, negotiations and cooperation which make up our experience
of colonialism. Invasion to Embassy is unique in presenting NSW
Aboriginal history as a history of activism, rather than a saga of
passivity and victimisation. In telling this engrossing story,
Heather Goodall reveals much about white Australians - not only as
oppressors, but as allies and as newcomers who must in turn sort
out their relations to the land.
