Dunera Lives: A Visual History

Dunera Lives: A Visual History

Jay Winter
4/5 ( ratings)
The story of the 'Dunera Boys' is an intrinsic part of the history of Australia in the Second World War and in its aftermath. The injustice these 2,000 men suffered through British internment in camps at Hay, Tatura and Orange is well known. Less familiar is the tale of what happened to them afterwards.

This book tells that story in two volumes—Volume One in images and Volume Two in life stories. The images constitute a narrative all of their own. The beauty and power of these traces of the lives of these internees speak for themselves. These are stories of struggle, sadness, transcendence, and creativity that describe the lives of these men and of the society in which they lived, first as prisoners and then as free men. A contribution to the history of Australia, to the history of migrants and migration, and to the history of human rights, these two volumes put in the public domain a story whose full dimensions and complexity have never been described.
