Too Much Cabbage and Jesus Christ: Australia’s ‘Mission Girl’ Annie Lock

Catherine Bishop

4.9/5 (20074 ratings)

Description:Who was blamed for the 1928 Coniston Massacre in Central Australia where a police party killed 100 Aboriginal people? Not those who pulled the trigger. Instead, the Enquiry pointed to ‘a woman missionary living amongst naked blacks thus lowering their respect for whites’.This was Annie Lock. She believed Aboriginal lives mattered, with controversial results.Working across Australia for 34 years, Annie Lock fought with Daisy Bates, met the Duke of Gloucester and encountered a young R.M. Williams. She was shipwrecked in a pearling lugger, drove a buggy 200 miles across the desert, produced Christmas puddings in 40-degree heat, hit headlines for supposedly being ‘Happy to Marry a Black’, and pronounced on Aboriginal culture and policy with erratic spelling but genuine conviction.More problematically, she ‘saved’ souls, ‘rescued’ children, eroded culture and condoned Aboriginal men beating their wives. She was regarded variously as a ‘crank’, ‘lovely’ and, for some Indigenous people, the provider of ‘too much Jesus Christ and cabbage’.Award-winning historian Catherine Bishop dives headlong into massacres, stolen generations and the thorny problem of Aboriginal missions, bringing to life the story of this appealingly eccentric, but divisive figure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
