75. Jenkin, Graham (1985). Conquest of the Ngarrindjeri: The Story of the Lower Murray Lakes Tribes (Reprint ed). Adelaide: Rigby Limited. 300 pp. Hardback large tall octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white photos, map, minor edgewear jacket, spine ends & cover corners & bottom edges little rubbed. This book by Graham Jenkin is a review of the modern history of the Aboriginal people of the Lower Murray lakes in South Australia. It is the story of a nation of 3000 people who were overrun by invaders who had the backing of the British empire at the heights of its power. The Ngarrindjeri were made aliens in their own land and lost control of their destiny, but they tried to coexist within the introduced culture. George Taplin set up in 1859 what was to be the focal point of Ngarrindjeri life, the Point McLeay Mission. He did more than any other individual to affect positively the destiny of the people. Taplin's journals (a major source for this book) are fascinating documents in their display of a panorama of European and Aboriginal life over a period of 20 crucial years. A detailed examination of the 1860 Report on the Aborigines, the 1911 Aborigines Act and the 1913 Royal Commission especially shows the frightening growth of racism out of ignorance and indifference.

97. McDaniel, Tim (1996). The Agony of the Russian Idea. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. 201 pp. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. Boris Yeltsin's attempts at democratic reform have plunged a long troubled Russia further into turmoil. Tim McDaniel explores the inability of all its leaders over the last two centuries - tsars and Communist rulers alike - to create the foundations of a viable modern society. The problem is rooted in a cultural trap endemic to Russian society and linked to a unique sense of destiny embodied by the Russian Idea - the belief that Russia can forge a path in the modern world that sets itself apart from the West through adherence to shared beliefs, community, and equality. When the Yeltsin government declared war on the Communist past, it broke with deeply held Russian values and traditions. McDaniel shows that in cutting people off from their pasts and promoting the West as the sole model of modernity, the reformers have simultaneously undermined the foundations of Russian morality and the people's sense of a future. Unwittingly, Yelsin annihilated its own authority. ISBN: 0691002487. Our Book No: 17974. $20 AUD.
