Settlement
A history of Australian Indigenous housing
READ, Peter (ed.)

Availability: Print; Electronic Book Format

This book traces the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing from the multiplicity of shelters used in pre-invasion times to the extraordinary cottages built by Victorian missionaries, through to the dreaded children's dormitory to the compound and its horrors of disease and overcrowding.

Modern themes are also explored - gendered housing, family-friendly prisons, self-built houses, government programs, and advanced designs for health and durability.
