Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. Pp. 304. The book serves as both a personal memoir and a vital historical record of public schooling, remote community building, and race relations in mid-20th-century Western Australia. A significant portion of the book focuses on Rourke's later role as a school inspector in the North-West and Kimberley regions during the 1950s. He details a fierce, historic confrontation with the WA Minister for Education, Harry Strickland, over the integration of Aboriginal children into state schools. Signed by Author(s).
