Drawing on family letters, diaries, and oral history, Wright reconstructs the world of the early squatters with an unflinching eye, tracing the triumphs and moral costs of settlement across generations of her family's remarkable pastoral saga.\n\nWright, celebrated primarily as one of Australia's greatest poets, brings her lyrical precision and moral seriousness to this work of narrative history, rendering the landscape and its people with rare intimacy. Beneath the personal family story lies a profound meditation on belonging, dispossession, and the contradictions embedded in the Australian colonial enterprise — themes that Wright would spend her entire literary life interrogating. A foundational text of Australian cultural memory, this is a book that asks whether a nation can truly know itself without first honestly confronting its own origins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203346964699,"sku":"2026200013373-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/29a305d0-ec32-4ef5-a173-b02058ed679d.png?v=1788147905","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013373-secondhand-the-generations-of-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
