This week’s ‘Rugby Reloaded plus’ talks to Roy Hay about his new book ‘Aboriginal People and Australian Football in the Nineteenth Century: They Did Not Come from Nowhere’ which looks at the contribution of Indigenous Australians to Aussie Rules football in the nineteenth century. It’s a story of racism and resistance to racism as Aboriginal players fought their right to play football. To find about about Roy’s book, go to https://cambridgescholars.com/aboriginal-people-and-australian-football-in-the-nineteenth-century.
