Don Watson in conversation
From the bestselling author of The Bush, the story of a fifty-year relationship between a Vietnam veteran and an isolated clan in north-east Arnhem Land – a unique, astonishing window into Australia’s deep past and precarious present, by one of our master storytellers. The Passion of Private White describes the meeting of two worlds: that of the intensely driven anthropologist Neville White, and the world of the last traditional hunter-gatherers clans in remote northern Australia, with whom he has lived and worked for half a century, mapping their culture and history in astonishing detail.
