lian_tanner 's review for:
Tall Man: The Death of Doomadgee
by Chloe Hooper
A heartbreaking and important book that brings to light the devastating history of the Aborigines of Palm Island, their relationship with white authorities, and how that has played out so tragically in modern times. Hooper doesn't downplay the difficulties of policing in remote communities, but puts this up against 'two hundred years of dispossession and abuse.'
'Asked at the inquest if he'd received cultural-awareness training, [young Constable Kristopher Steadman] said he'd been told about the barbed wire surrounding the barracks.'
