y separately published work icon The Outsiders Within : Telling Australia's Indigenous-Asian Story Sydney : University of New South Wales Press , 2007 Z1482462 2007 single work criticism 'The Outsiders Within is an engaging account of the ways in which over hundreds of years Indigenous and Southeast Asian people across Australia have traded, inter-married and built hybrid communities. It is also a disturbing expose of the persistent, sometimes paranoid, efforts of successive white governments to police, marginalise and outlaw these encounters. ...brings to life the three-way relationship between Indigenous, Asian and white Australians by drawing on family narratives and oral histories as well as official documents; and re-examines Australia's identity, how it is constructed and what it forgets.'
