This magnificent volume contains the majority of Davidson's Australian ethnographic papers from 1933 to 1953. The sub-title presents the range of material included, all profusely illustrated. Davidson's works, together with Roth's The Queensland Aborigines and minor books such as Winjan's People, give readers a great insight into the lost cultures that made up the tribes of Australia.
These re-issues may serve to revitalise interest among all Australians and show that there was more to Aboriginal craftsmanship than being feedstock for 'art galleries'.
