Download or read book Somewhere in the Middle written by Geoffrey D'Ombrain and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2021-12-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many stories have come down to me about my remarkable family going right back to escaping from France in an open boat in 1572. There was a great-grandfather who was City Surveyor of the Melbourne Corporation and a remarkable hero, Sir James D'Ombrain, who refused to follow Westminster orders and delivered grain, aboard the revenue cruisers, to the starving in Ireland during the potato famine. Then at age ninety I am blessed with a clear memory going right back to the days when I was but three years old. I have so many memories I wish to share. Some are amusing and some hard to believe. There are simple stories that bring life to many family members I have known, past and present. A love of the sea and craft that sail upon it is also woven through the text. I tell stories of friends, and people whose contributions to society should not be forgotten. I tell the story of how I came to establish a ground-breaking tertiary music education program. I share my reflections on war, religion and politics and tell some amazing tales of closer contact with our remarkable First Nations' Australians. Our family has long displayed a passion for botanical and zoological pursuits. It is appropriate that I conclude the book with a few unbelievable stories about my encounters with birds. In all my stories I am "somewhere in the middle" closely watching life's cavalcade.

Download or read book Bringing to Light written by Ian Bryson and published by Aboriginal Studies Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The title Bringing to Light has two meanings. First, this book is an act of bringing to light a history that was gradually becoming mythologised, in part because the ethnographic films of the past are now rarely seen. Secondly, much of the film-making discussed in this book was motivated by a desire to bring to the light of film the socio-cultural life of Australia's Indigenous peoples."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Other People s Country written by Timothy Neale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Other People’s Country thinks through the entangled objects of law – legislation, policies, institutions, treaties and so on – that ‘govern’ waters and that make bodies of water ‘lawful’ within settler colonial sites today. Informed by the theoretical interventions of cosmopolitics and political ecology, each opening up new approaches to questions of politics and ‘the political’, the chapters in this book locate these insights within material settler colonial ‘places’ rather than abstract structures of domination. A claim to water – whether by Indigenous peoples or settlers – is not simply a claim to a resource. It is a claim to knowledge and to the constitution of place and therefore, in the terms of Isabelle Stengers, to the continued constitution of the past, present and future of real worlds. Including contributions from the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, cultural geography, critical legal studies, and settler colonial studies, this collection not only engages with issues of law, water and entitlement in different national contexts – including Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, New Caledonia and the USA – but also from diverse disciplinary and institutional contexts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Settler Colonial Studies.
