A first in sporting literature, The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe is the largely untold story of Aboriginal involvement with the ‘world game’ in our nation’s sporting history.
The acceptance that Aboriginal players found within the post-World War II migrant communities had a profound impact on their lives. The multicultural environment of Australian soccer provided them with a haven from the prejudice and racism of wider Australian society.
Interweaving personal stories and extensive research with links to the broader Indigenous world community, Maynard’s book is a celebration of the extraordinary journey taken by Aboriginal sportsmen and women to forge the way ahead for the present crop of talented players.
John Maynard is a Worimi man from the Port Stephens region of NSW. He is Professor of Indigenous Studies and Director of the Wollotuka Institute of Aboriginal Studies at the University of Newcastle. He is Deputy Chairperson of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).
He is the author of four books including Aboriginal Stars of the Turf and Fight for Liberty and Freedom.
