| Summary: |
Answers the questions about Broome away from the privilege of the pearler's world. Behind the romanticism of the tourist facade there is a history steeped in tragedy and violence.'Beyond the Lattice : Broome's Early Years' provides real insight into the people, politics, colour and atmosphere which have been fundamental to the creation of modern Broome.' Source: Back Cover
Concentrates on the early years of white settlement up to the years just past the Second World War. It was during these years, when the policies and attitudes of the day determined and formed the social fabric of the town, that the seeds of the story of Broome were sown. (Preface). |
