This extraordinary book, published in 2000, explores the feelings
of non-Aboriginal Australians as they articulate their sense of
belonging to the land. Always acting as a counterpoint is the prior
occupation and ownership by Aboriginal people and their spiritual
attachment. Peter Read asks the pivotal questions: what is the
meaning of places important to non-Aboriginal Australians from
which the indigenous people have already been dispossessed? How are
contemporary Australians thinking through the problem of knowing
that their places of attachment are also the places which
Aboriginals loved - and lost? And are the sites of all our deep
affections to be contested, articulated, shared, foregone or
possessed absolutely? The book cleverly interweaves Read's analysis
(and personal quest for belonging) with the voices of poets,
musicians, artists, historians, young people, Asian Australians,
farmers and seventh generation Australians.
