The author shows how the effects of social disruption, cultural dislocation and loss of power suffered by Aboriginal people have manifested themselves in certain behavioral patterns. He analyzes rising mortality rates from suicide, accidents and homicide among Kimberley Aboriginal communities and studies the economic impact of alcohol on these communities" - publisher's description].
