About this product

Product Information

Historian Henry Reynolds has found himself being asked these questions by many people, over many years, in all parts of Australia. The acclaimed Why Weren't We Told? is a frank account of his personal journal towards the realisation that he, like generations of Australians, grew up with a distorted and idealised version of the past. From the author's unforgettable encounter in a North Queensland jail with injustice towards Aboriginal children, to his friendship with Eddi Mabo, to his shattering of the myths about our 'peaceful' history, this bestselling book will shock, move and intrigue. Why Weren't We Told? is crucial reading on the most important debate in Australia as we enter the twenty-first century.

  • Should be mandatory reading in all year 12 High Schools and allow Australians to know their past History.

    A trained historian researches Australia's treatment of the first nation Australians during the 19th and early 20th Centurary and as a sibling of a family that got given land north of Yeppoon Qld in 1865 I believe I owe the first nations people the respect that they have never received in the past. Australians have a duty to know the truth of our past history that we are ashamed to place in our History or remain ignorant and ignore humanity.
