Naku Dharuk The Bark Petitions – Professor Clare Wright

Join Professor Clare Wright in conversation with Associate Professor Julie McIntyre as they discuss Wright's book 'Naku Dharuk The Bark Petitions'.

Clare Wright’s Democracy Trilogy began with 'The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka' and continued with 'You Daughters of Freedom'.
