Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the history, practice, and possibilities of writing about the lives of First Nations’ peoples in Australia as well as Aotearoa New Zealand, North America, and the Pacific. This interdisciplinary collection recognises the limitations of Western biographical conventions for writing Indigenous long‐ and short‐form biographies. Through a series of diverse life stories of both historical and contemporary First Nations figures, this book investigates innovative ways to ameliorate the challenges we face in recovering the stories of Indigenous people and reimagining their lives in productive new ways. Many of the chapters in this collection are deeply reflective, aiming not just to relate the life story of an individual but also to reflect on the archival, intellectual, and emotional journeys that biographers undertake in researching Indigenous biography. This volume will be of value to scholars and students interested in Indigenous Studies, biography, history, literature, creative writing, archaeology, and colonial and postcolonial studies.

Download or read book Culture in Translation written by Martin Thomas and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. H. Mathews (1841-1918) was an Australian-born surveyor and self-taught anthropologist. From 1893 until his death in 1918, he made it his mission to record all 'new and interesting facts' about Aboriginal Australia. Despite falling foul with some of the most powerful figures in British and Australian anthropology, Mathews published some 2200 pages of anthropological reportage in English, French and German. His legacy is an outstanding record of Aboriginal culture in the Federation period. This first edited collection of Mathews' writings represents the many facets of his research, ranging from kinship study to documentation of myth. It include eleven articles translated from French or German that until now have been unavailable in English. Introduced and edited by Martin Thomas, who compellingly analyses the anthropologist, his milieu, and the intrigues that were so costly to his reputation, CULTURE IN TRANSLATION is essential reading on the history of cross-cultural research.

Download or read book Sacred Waters written by Dianne Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SACRED WATERS is the account of the dispossession of Indigenous people in the Blue Mountains within living memory, and is one of the winners of the 2008 NSW Premier's History Awards. The Gully, situated in the middle of Katoomba, was used as a summer holiday camp by the Gundungurra and Darug peoples before white settlement. After white settlement many moved to the Gully permanently and in the 1950s when Gundungurra land was flooded for the creation of Warragamba Dam, this process became irreversible. The Gully residents lived in relative harmony with their white neighbours until 1957 when some local businessmen decided to build a car racing track there and the Gully people homes were simply bulldozed - they had no say in the matter and many had no compensation. By recounting the area's Aboriginal history, Sacred Waters also tells the story of Sydney's waterways, used for centuries by Aboriginal people as pathways across the Blue Mountains. The book, written by Dianne Johnson in collaboration with the residents of Katoomba's Gully area and their descendents, was supported by the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Sydney Catchment Authority.

Download or read book Time Tide and History written by and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time, Tide and History: Eleanor Dark’s Fiction is the first book-length edited collection of scholarly essays to treat the full span of Eleanor Dark’s fiction, advancing a recent revival of critical and scholarly interest in Dark’s writing. This volume not only establishes a new view of Dark’s fiction as a whole, but also reflects on the ways in which her fiction speaks to our present moment, in the context of a globally fraught, post-pandemic, Anthropocene era. Above all, the revisiting of Dark’s fiction is mandated by a desire to recognise the ways in which it anticipates vital debates in Australian literary and national culture today, about settler colonialism and its legacies, and with regard to the histories, condition and status of Australia’s First Nations people. This volume interweaves varied topical themes, from formal debates about modernism, historical realism and melodrama, to questions about modernity’s time and space, about gender and cultural difference, and about the specifics of built and natural environments. Time, Tide and History intentionally loosens the conventions of literary scholarship by including other kinds of work alongside critical and scholarly readings: a written dialogue between two contemporary historians about Dark’s legacy, and a biographical piece on the life and role of Eleanor Dark’s husband, Eric Payten Dark. Bringing together the interwar fiction’s feminist and modernist dimensions with the historical turn of The Timeless Land trilogy, the essays in Time, Tide and History collectively pursue ethical and political questions while teasing out the distinctive thematic, formal and aesthetic features of Dark’s fiction.
Download or read book Aboriginal Placenames written by Luise Hercus and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal approaches to the naming of places across Australia differ radically from the official introduced Anglo-Australian system. However, many of these earlier names have been incorporated into contemporary nomenclature, with considerable reinterpretations of their function and form. Recently, state jurisdictions have encouraged the adoption of a greater number of Indigenous names, sometimes alongside the accepted Anglo-Australian terms, around Sydney Harbour, for example. In some cases, the use of an introduced name, such as Gove, has been contested by local Indigenous people. The 19 studies brought together in this book present an overview of current issues involving Indigenous placenames across the whole of Australia, drawing on the disciplines of geography, linguistics, history, and anthropology. They include meticulous studies of historical records, and perspectives stemming from contemporary Indigenous communities. The book includes a wealth of documentary information on some 400 specific placenames, including those of Sydney Harbour, the Blue Mountains, Canberra, western Victoria, the Lake Eyre district, the Victoria River District, and southwestern Cape York Peninsula.

Download or read book Cox s Road Dreaming written by David C. Goldney and published by . This book was released on 1915-07-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My love affair with all things Cox's Road (1814/15) began in February 1972, when I shared a common-room with thelate Theo Barker, the highly respected Bathurst historian at the Mitchell College of Advanced Education (now CharlesSturt University, Bathurst Campus). For three years he regaled his colleagues with numerous stories about colonialBathurst, including Cox's Road. In the ensuing years I have gathered together a significant amount of informationand visited most of the sites and places identified in the Cox's Road Dreaming Guide - very much through the eyes ofa professional ecologist.The title Cox's Road Dreaming resulted from a long period of reflection on the European interaction with Darug,Gundungurra and Wiradyuri, the three main Aboriginal Nations through which Cox's Road traversed in the period1813 to 1850. Early European historians and explorers were often guilty of writing the story of the traditional ownersout of the historical script as it related to Gregory Blaxland, William Wentworth and William Lawson, George Evans,William Cox and Governor Lachlan Macquarie, the proclamation of Bathurst in May 1815, and the opening up ofthe west to European agriculture and related fledgling industries. This Dreaming story is not seeking to emulateAboriginal Dreaming and song lines, although inspiration is drawn from Aboriginal culture. In this story tellingwe seek a nuanced reappraisal of this period of Australian colonial history, the debunking of some myths withoutnecessarily robbing them of their continuing importance, and to identify the outcomes for Aboriginal people that ledto their dispossession, the precipitous decline in their numbers, and their new reality as colonial fringe dwellers intheir own Country.A recurring theme in Cox's Road Dreaming is the focus on the Natural History associated with the road - the studyof organisms and their environments, geology, vegetation communities, and biological and physical processes. Inthe 19th century Natural History also embraced the study of Aboriginal culture, often in a very paternalistic anddemeaning manner. The study of Natural History in the late 18th and 19th centuries was often little more thanthe equivalent of stamp collecting of natural items. At its best it was undertaken to improve
