Author Talk: Dean Ashenden

In a riveting tale of a town, and a nation, 'Telling Tennant's Story' is a combination of memoir, political and intellectual history.

Dean sets out to understand how the story of 'relations between two racial groups' has been told and not told – from its beginnings with first encounters of black and white, through the work of the early anthropologists, the historians and the courts, in landmark cases about land rights, the Stolen Generations, and continuing controversy.
