This case study traces her life story and journey of healing. It also explores how her experiences as a member of the Stolen Generations has affected her family. Born on the Mainoru River, Central Arnhem Land in 1943, Eileen had a happy childhood growing up with her extended family on Mainoru Station. In 1948 her life changed forever when she was forcibly removed from her home and family according to the Commonwealth Government policies of the day. Eileen was taken to live at the Methodist Mission on Croker Island from 1948 to 1960. Eileen experienced some happy times on Croker, but she always grieved for her mother and country. Eileen first reconnected with her mother Florrie in 1962. For Eileen reconnecting with her mother, family and country would be a journey of healing that continues today. How this journey has impacted on Eileen's entire family is told through the experiences of her daughter Raelene and Granddaughter Grace.On Crocker Island Eileen's most important relationships were with the other children, but one by one they were unexpectedly 'taken away' from her and moved to other parts of Australia. Despite the constant grief and trauma of broken relationships Eileen's resilience enabled her to do well at school and complete her secondary education in Darwin and then tertiary studies in Brisbane 1961-1963. Eileen's educational success underpinned a long and distinguished professional career. In 1964 she returned to the Northern Territory as its first Indigenous early childhood teacher. Later, while her own family grew, Eileen went on utilise her community negotiation and engagement skills with great success in a variety of Northern Territory Government policy areas. Australia's Stolen Generations is a blight on its history. Its impact then and now on those removed from their families and the generations who followed is ongoing and profound. The Cummings Family's story illustrates how they have lived with and overcome this traumatic event by keeping family close and reclaiming their culture through their connections to country. It is a story of love, resilience, and courage.

Download or read book School Management and Effectiveness in Developing Countries written by Clive Harber and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-02-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is quite different from existing 'Western' books on school effectiveness. It describes and analyses the way in which schools operate in developing countries and also tries to explain why they are as they are. Examining them at three levels - the macro, the meso and the micro - the authors use a theoretical framework that they have termed 'post-bureaucracy.' The book has four interlinked sections. First the authors examine the existing economic and theoretical contexts around school effectiveness, including an analysis of the causes of economic crisis and its impact on school management. In the second section the analysis of schools as bureaucratic facades is proposed. The reality of school life, from which any theory of school effectiveness must derive, is illustrated by an ethnographic account of the job of the headteacher in developing countries. The third section explores different ways to understand this reality, operating on three levels: global relationships, national and community cultures, and individual agency. In the final section Haber and Davies draw these levels and realities together. They argue for the democratization of schools as the only way forward for effective education fordevelopment.

Download or read book A Good Country written by Laleh Khadivi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "powerful" (NYT) timely novel about the radicalization of a Muslim teen in California--about where identity truly lies and how we find it. Laguna Beach, California, 2011. Alireza Courdee, a 16-year-old straight-A student and chemistry whiz, takes his first hit of pot. In as long as it takes to inhale and exhale, he is transformed from the high-achieving son of Iranian immigrants into a happy-go-lucky stoner. He loses his virginity, takes up surfing, and sneaks away to all-night raves. For the first time, Reza--now Rez--feels like an American teen. Life is smooth; even lying to his strict parents comes easily. But then he changes again, falling out with the bad-boy surfers and in with a group of kids more awake to the world around them, who share his background, and whose ideas fill him with a very different sense of purpose. Within a year, Reza and his girlfriend are making their way to Syria to be part of a Muslim nation rising from the ashes of the civil war. Timely, nuanced, and emotionally forceful, A Good Country is a gorgeous meditation on modern life, religious radicalization, and a young man caught among vastly different worlds. What we are left with at the dramatic end is not an assessment of good or evil, East versus West, but a lingering question that applies to all modern souls: Do we decide how to live, or is our life decided for us?
Download or read book The Bible in Buffalo Country written by Sally K. May and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arriving in the remote Arnhem Land Aboriginal settlement of Oenpelli (Gunbalanya) in 1925, Alf and Mary Dyer aimed to bring Christ to a former buffalo shooting camp and an Aboriginal population many whites considered difficult to control. The Bible in Buffalo Country: Oenpelli Mission 1925–1931 represents a snapshot of the tumultuous first six years of the Church Missionary Society’s mission at Oenpelli and the superintendency of Alfred Dyer between 1925 and 1931. Drawing together documentary and photographic sources with local community memory, a story emerges of miscommunication, sickness, constant logistical issues, and an Aboriginal community choosing when and how to engage with the newcomers to their land. This book provides a fascinating and detailed record of the primary sources of the mission, placed alongside the interpretation and insight of local Traditional Owners. Its contents include the historical and archaeological context of the primary source material, the vivid mission reports and correspondence, along with stunning photographs of the mission and relevant maps, and finally the oral history of Esther Manakgu, presenting Aboriginal memory of this complex era. The Bible in Buffalo Country emerged from community desire for access to the source documents of their own history and for their story to be known by the broader Australian public. It is intended for the benefit of communities in western Arnhem Land and is also a rich resource for historians of Aboriginal history (and other scholars in relevant disciplines).
