William
Cooper's
passionate
struggle
against
the
dispossession
of
Aboriginal
people
and
the
denial
of
their
rights
and
his
heroic
fight
for
them
to
become
citizens
in
their
own
country
has
been
widely
commemorated
and
celebrated.
By
carefully
reconstructing
the
historical
losses
his
Yorta
Yorta
people
suffered
and
endured,
William
Cooper:
An
Aboriginal
Life
Story
reveals
how
the
first
seventy
years
of
Cooper's
life
inspired
the
remarkable
political
work
he
undertook
in
the
1930s.
Focusing
on
Cooper's
most
important
campaigns-his
famous
petition
to
the
British
king
George
for
an
Aboriginal
representative
in
the
Australian
parliament,
his
call
for
a
day
of
mourning
after
150
years
of
colonisation,
the
walk-off
of
the
Yorta
Yorta
people
from
Cumeroogunga
reserve
in
1939
and
his
opposition
to
the
establishment
of
an
Aboriginal
regiment
in
the
Second
World
War-this
carefully
researched
study
sheds
important
new
light
on
the
long
struggle
that
Indigenous
people
have
fought
to
have
the
truth
about
Australia's
black
history
heard
and
win
representation
in
Australia's
political order.
