'How is it our minds are not satisfied? What means this whispering
in the bottom of our hearts?' Listening to the whispering in his
own heart, Henry Reynolds was led into the lives of remarkable and
largely forgotten white humanitarians who followed their
consciences and challenged the prevailing attitudes to Indigenous
people. His now-classic book This Whispering in Our Hearts
constructed an alternative history of Australia through the eyes of
those who felt disquiet and disgust at the brutality of
dispossession. These men and women fought for justice for
Indigenous people even when doing so left them isolated and
criticised by their fellow whites. The unease of these
humanitarians about the morality of white settlement has not
dissipated and their legacy informs current debates about
reconciliation between black and white Australia. Revisiting this
history, in this new edition Reynolds brings fresh perspectives to
issues we grapple with still. Those who argue for justice,
reparation, recognition and a treaty will find themselves in
solidarity with those who went before. But this powerful book shows
how much remains to be done to settle the whispering in our hearts.
An updated edition of a classic text, now includes reflections on
native title, the apology, international conventions, reparations,
recognition and the treaty.
