Softcover. Condition: USED_NEARFINE. AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINALFor thousands of years the Ngarinyin Aboriginal culture has existed with almost total division of responsibility between sexes enabling both to respect the power, wisdom, and essentiality of the other. In this book the author, after a 25 year association with these people, draws useful parallels to benefit gender-troubled Western society. x. 188 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. #0921/020723/240524/260624 Signed by AuthorBeautiful stories of life in Australian Aboriginal society--where gender influences every aspect of existence--that show a new way to find happiness in our modern Western culture⢠Follows an Australian Aboriginal boy and girl from childhood through adolescence, adulthood, old age, and death, contrasting their experiences with those of ours at the same life stages⢠Presents the experience of living in a society in which every action is governed by the gender laws of nature and myth, and offers us ideas for the conduct of our livesFor thousands of years the Ngarinyin Aboriginal culture of Australia has existed with almost a total division of responsibility between genders. This division enables both men and women to respect the power, wisdom, and essentiality of the other because only when the two genders work in harmony does their culture function as it should.When Hannah Rachel Bell, a committed activist and feminist, first encountered this culture in the 1970s she resisted such blatant gender division. But over her 25-year collaboration with the well-known Aboriginal Lawman David Mowaljarlai she found her beliefs challenged and finally changed. In this book Bell presents the experience of living in a society in which every action is governed by the laws of nature and myth, rather than those of commerce and politics. She offers modern people ideas for the conduct of their lives by raising awareness of the cultural processes and institutions that affect men's and women's authority, sovereignty, and the fulfillment of their birthright. It is a journey that, if traveled collectively, could change the direction and experience of modern culture.Philosophy, Ngarinyin. | Ngarinyin (Australian people) -- Kinship. | Ngarinyin (Australian people) -- Rites and ceremonies. | Sex role -- Western Australia -- Kimberley. | Sexual division of labor -- Western Australia -- Kimberley. | Ngarinyin / Ungarinyin people (K18) (WA SE52-01) | Gender relations. | Law - Indigenous. | Gender relations - Gender roles. | Indigenous knowledge - World view. | Social organisation. | Kimberley (W.A.) -- Social life and customs.

Paperback. Condition: USED_ASNEW. First Edition. In nearly new condition: firm and square with strong joints, no creases. Just a few hardly noticeable rubs or very mild bumps. Hence a non-text page shows a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book looks and feels unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. And so a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price.

What do the artistic works of acclaimed author Tim Winton and eminent Ngarinyin lawman Bungal (David) Mowaljarlai have in common? According to Hannah Rachel Bell they both reflect sacred relationship with the natural world, the biological imperative of a male rite of passage, an emergent urban tribalism, and the fundamental role of story in the transmission of cultural knowledge. In Bell's four decade friendship with Mowaljarlai, she had to confront the cultural assumptions that sculpted her way of seeing. The journey was life-changing. When she returned to teaching in 2001 Tim Winton's novels featured in the curriculum. She recognised an eerie familiarity and thought Winton must have been influenced by traditional elders to express such an 'indigenous' perspective. She wrote to him. This resulted in 4 years of correspondence and an excavation of converging world views - exposed through personal memoir, letters, paintings and conversations and culminating in Storymen.
