There
are
not
too
many
histories
of
Aboriginal
reserves
that
have
something
good
to
say
of
them.
But
the
Burrage
children,
Winifred,
Alan
and
Elsie,
recall
the
world
of
their
childhood
as
a
happy
one.
They
recount
how
their
Anglo-Australian
parents
toiled
on
reserves
with
genuine
caring
and
an
unsentimental
sense
of
duty.A
Life
Together,
a
Life
Apart
is
a
collaborative
autobiography
and
an
oral
narrative
as
well
as
a
history.
The
vivid
recollections
of
Winifred
Burrage,
Alan
Burrage
and
Elsie
Stokie
form
its
centrepiece.In
an
introductory
essay
Bain
Attwood
sketches
the
background
to
the
reserves,
and
discusses
the
different
histories
we
have
of
relations
between
Europeans
and
Aborigines
in
Australia.
In
the
final
section
he
scrutinises
the
form
of
oral
history
and
contemplates
the
nature
of
historical
knowledge.
The
result
is
a
passionate
representation
of
the
virtues
of History.
