This Whispering In Our Hearts by Reynolds, Henry

Allen & Unwin, Sydney 1998 . 23.5 x 15.5cms, 274pp, very good paperback & cover This book traces the history of settler-Aboriginal relations in Australia between 1790 & 1939, when Mary Bennett and other humanitarian reformers were still expressing their anger about the conditions of Aborigines and white Australia's attitudes. It is an account of the men and women who were unable to satisfy their consciences and who worried about the relationship between the Aborigines and the Europeans, who said so publicly and who took political action of one sort or another in the hope that they could change the way things were.
