The Black Police: A Story of Modern Australia"The Black Police: A Story of Modern Australia" by A. J. Vogan was written to help give readers a more all-encompassing picture of life in Australia. Written when the country's population saw a boom of immigrants, Vogan's text helped showcase the less talked about and sometimes more unsavory parts of the country's society. Though written as a work of fiction, the book continues to give readers a look into Australia's complex past. |
