Something in the Blood

This startling new story collection is set in Papua New Guinea before independence. Gritty and direct, at times amusing, always readable, these fifteen stories are graphic record Of Australian colonialism and what it meant to be a white masta. They all expose the process of colonialism at a vital but frequently overlooked stage: at the instant of human action.
