Compiled by Wendy Lowenstein, this landmark work chronicles the lived experiences of those who survived unemployment, hunger, and social upheaval, stitching together a mosaic of voices — workers, mothers, drifters, and activists — who bore witness to one of the nation's most harrowing economic catastrophes.\n\nWith a foreword by the eminent historian Manning Clark, the book carries the weight of academic authority while retaining the visceral immediacy of personal testimony. Lowenstein's meticulous methodology as an oral historian gives a platform to those long silenced by official records, arguing powerfully that history is best understood through the stories of the dispossessed. A seminal document of Australian social history, Weevils in the Flour leaves the reader haunted by the enduring question: how much has truly changed?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130870079707,"sku":"2026200011818-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5568fc67-4304-48d0-bc70-119c9f0fe719.png?v=1786591635","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011818-secondhand-weevils-in-the-flour-an-oral-record-of-the-1930s-depression-in-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
