The First Response of Aboriginal Peoples to the White Man. Published in 1979 by Orbis in the UK and by New York Times Books in the US.

"This book is a poignant and beautiful anthology, remarkably fresh in its materials, collecting around each of five meaningful themes a chapter of some ten texts as told by those to whom intruders once came ….In our times when apocalypse does not seem remote from the most favoured cities, these accounts are dazzling mirrors of our common humanity in the glare of inevitable change" Scientific American
