Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation. Historian Anna Haebich documents how the Nyungar people of Western Australia strategically and courageously adapted their rich performance culture to survive the catastrophe that engulfed them, and generously share their culture, history, and language in theatre. In public corroborees they performed their sovereignty to the colonists and in community-only gatherings they danced and sang to bring forth resilience and spiritual healing. Pushed away by the colonists and denied their culture and lands they continued to live and perform in the shadows over the years, in combinations of the old and the new, including indigenised settler songs and dances. Nyungar people survived, and they now number around 40,000 people and constitute the largest Aboriginal nation in the Australian settler state. The ancient family lineages live in city suburbs and country towns and they continue to perform to celebrate their ancestors and to strengthen community wellbeing by being together. Dancing in Shadows sheds light on a little-known history of Nyungar performance. "Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation. Historian Anna Haebich documents how the Nyungar people of Western Australia strategically and courageously adapted their rich performance culture to survive the catastrophe that engulfed them, and generously share their culture, history and language in theatre."--Back cover.

TRUE CRIME WEST AUSTRALIANA(Based on a true story.)Sensational rumours of the murder of three small children by their stepmother ignite the passions of Perth citizens in 1909. Shocked by horrific descriptions of how she poisoned the children, they demand her execution as one voice. But did she do it? Or was she a victim of the prejudices of her persecutors?Anna Haebich brings to life the people of Perth and the entangled mesh of self-righteous bigotry, slander and unbridled revenge they invoke to propel the trial of Martha Rendell to its inevitable end. 217 p. : ill., ports. ; 20 cm.#0419/0820/190324Signed by Author.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Slight curve to right tail corner - as if the book has not been shelve correctly. Interior and binding are still excellent. So often, the land is something we take for granted; it seems so disarmingly real and elemental. Yet in Australia, as in most parts of the world, conflicts rage incessantly over land and its use. We even use the phrase 'contested ground' as a metaphor for all sorts of arguments and differences. Country: Visons of Land People in Western Australia reflects on the unique character of people's experiences in Western Australian landscapes. It explains some of the major environmental changes over the past two centuries and considers their cultural meaning. This is a book for anyone who wants to know more about the people and places in the western third of the Australian continent.
