Description

Under the Act
by Willie Thaiday.

NQ Black Publishing Co, Townsville, 1981.
First Edition, paperback.

‘This small book might appear insignificant, yet its pages hold an important history of Palm Island and Queensland. Under the Act is Willie Thaiday’s story of living under government control, equally, it is the story of the Bwgcolman people, the Strike of 1957, and resistance against government rule.’ – Dr Lynore Geia, https://nqheritage.jcu.edu.au/774/

Condition: Light wear to cover. Overall very good.
