AWW23: Between Two Worlds - Don Watson

Chair: Richard Fidler

In The Passion of Private White, bestselling author Don Watson describes the fifty-year relationship between an isolated clan in northern Arnhem Land and Neville White, an anthropologist and Vietnam War veteran. It is a window into our history, as a complex set of contradictions, conflicts and degrees of recognition between coloniser and colonised unfold. Watson talks about this encounter between two worlds and the story of human adaptation, suffering and resilience evident in both.
