Coaldrake's Mission. "Japan From War To Peace: The Coaldrake Records 1939-1956" by William H. Coaldrake (ed) [review]

Abstract

Some readers will approach this book as a memoir of Frank and Maida Coaldrake, some as travelogue, some as ethnography. Specialist readers may be stimulated to imagine other research projects going beyond the documents presented here, and place the ABM-supported mission to Japan in the larger cultural history of white Australia’s relations with indigenous Australians and with neighbouring countries in Asia.
