Autorenporträt

Maggie Black is a writer whose work up to now has been about development among poor and disadvantaged peoples, including histories of Oxfam and UNICEF (OUP 1992, 1996). This has been a surprisingly useful apprenticeship for a study of her great-grandfather's pioneering life in Victoria, with its themes of exclusion of local Indigenous people, development of farming practices and building a new society.
