In Someone Else's Country, Peter Docker takes the reader on a profound journey into contemporary Aboriginal Australia. From his early life on an outback station to his work as an actor living in St. Kilda, Docker is drawn into the world of Indigenous Australia. With 'The Mob' he experiences the highs and lows of creating theatre, film and televisionthe accolades, the rewards, the attention of the media. But after the performances, he crosses back into the warzone, where people are being destroyed by violence, drugs, alcohol, third-world diseases and the hostile attitudes of the wider Australian community. Brutally honest, heart-wrenchingly moving and often wonderfully funny, Someone Else's Country is the first book to seriously approach the issue of how a wadjula (white man) can respond emotionally and practically to the issues faced by contemporary, urban Aboriginals.
