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.
