"Here is a captivating account of a life, the like of which Australia will never see again. It is an honest account of a man of remarkable feats and striking flaws. Ward McNally introduces Ted Strehlow the boy, growing up in Central Australia with Aboriginal children, making their language and ways his own. Then follows Strehlow the man - the patrol officer, the academic, the anthropologist, the linguist - as he wrestles with his destiny, and fights for the recognition of Aboriginal culture and for a better understanding of the people of his childhood. In compassionate, compelling style, Ward McNally unfolds the paradox of this historic professor's life - a life of which all Australians should be aware." Weight: 445g.

The author's interest in the history of Aboriginal-white relations was first aroused when looking through bundles of Native Police records in Brisbane's Oxley Library. This led him to examine the origins of that particular solution to the 'Aboriginal problem' and in turn the events of the 1830s and 1840s when the Colonial Office's concern for the Aborigines coincided with the worst racial clashes in the history of New South Wales. This book is an account of the 'Aboriginal problem' as it really was and as it was seen by philanthropists, squatters, and colonial administrators. Although the significance of the Myall Creek massacre should not be underestimated, the author has attempted to place it within the context of racial conflicts accompanying settlement of the Liverpool Plains and of Gipps' insistence on the enforcement of law in the squatting districts. Consequently the massacre and the trials are dealt with separately. Chapters of the book have been arranged in thematic rather than chronological sequence. A description of the nature of contact between Aborigines and whites and the consequent problems (Chapter 1) is followed by an examination of various philanthropic schemes, the arguments of those who believed that all such efforts were a waste of time and the body of popular beliefs about the Aborigines (Chapter 2). An outline of official policy towards the Aborigines from first settlement (Chapter 3) serves as background for a description of the Myall Creek trials and the controversy which they aroused (Chapter 4), and the final chapter deals with Gipp's efforts to provide a legal solution to the 'Aboriginal problem' (Chapter 5).

Characterized by a simple technology and a complex socioreligious system, the Mardudjara have survived with much of their traditional culture intact. The Mardu culture challenges common assumptions about the relation between technology and progress. This edition describes changes as the Mardu adapt to social, economic, and political realities.

This study deals with the period after "The Killing Times". It examines the cultural forms of domination, supported by force, which enabled European colonizers to make "Aborigines". But Aborigines were not merely passive victims: out of the exchange came a transformed consciousness for the dispossessed, shaped by European culture and their own. The book is aimed at students in the politics of development, politics, and anthropology.

Illustrated with photos, drawings, maps. The culture of the Mardudjara is characterized by an outstandingly simple technology and material culture and an equally outstanding complex religious and cosmological system. 149p. Glossary. Bibliography. Films.

In the vast silence of their isolation, the Australian Aborigines have learned the ways of living in harmony with the earth. From their origins in a distant antiquity, they have kept a sacred perspective on the natural world. This book explains: . The world of Sky Heroes, and how the land was formed by mythic creatures from the Dreaming. . Their secret rites and rituals, and ideas of reincarnation. . How the stories, fables and myths sustain the belief in metaphysical basis of the human spirit. . How they represent the conscience of all mankind, offering us today a parable for survival.

Tasmanian Aborigines were driven off their land so white settlers could produce fine wool for the English textile mills. By the time Truganini died in 1876, they were considered to be extinct—yet like so many other claims about them, this was wrong. Far from disappearing, the Tasmanian Aborigines actively resisted settler colonialism from the outset and have consistently campaigned for their rights and recognition as a distinct people through to the present. Lyndall Ryan tells the story of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania, from before the arrival of the first whites to current political agendas. Tasmania has been the cradle of race relations in Australia, and their struggle for a place in their own country offers insights into the experiences of Aboriginal people nationwide.

In the nineteenth century, Australian Aborigines were used by European scholars as an exemplar of early human forms, and have consequently featured as the crucial case study for generations of social theorists and anthropologists. Arguments about Aborigines examines controversial subjects such as family life, religion and ritual, and land rights through the prism of Aboriginal studies. Professor Hiatt's book will provide a valuable introduction to Aboriginal ethnography, and is a shrewd and stimulating history of the central questions in Aboriginal studies.

Of the 1200 people named in this book, perhaps only six were raised with access to equipment, training, travel and competition. The rest were either brought up in remote settlements where sport was abhorred or ignored, or taken from their parents and raised in 'assimilation' homes. Men were often exploited as gladiators and entertainers, while women still receive less in the way of encouragement, facilities and access than any other sector of the Australian community.As well as bringing to light many moving and inspiring individual stories, Colin Tatz puts the whole issue of Aboriginal sport in its historical, political, legal and philosophical context. The personal experiences mirror racial and social trends across the decades as Aborigines hurdle the continuing obstacles of racism and adversity - and their opponents.Obstacle Race contains and abundance of sporting detail supported by a wealth of rare photographs.
