About this title

Synopsis

Focusing on an isolated community in central Australia, this highly-readable examination presents insights into the cultural underpinnings of indigenous daily life through evocative narratives revolving around five Warlpiri women. The seemingly contradictory realities of a distant hunter-gatherer past and current life in a first-world nation-state are addressed as this refreshing study answers questions about the specifics of camps, sleeping arrangements, public and private boundaries, and how indigenous people in praxis relate to each other. This analysis illuminates the personal, utilizing rich vignettes and narrative portraits to expand understandings of indigenous Australia.

About the Author

Yasmine Musharbash spent three years of participant observation in the Warlpiri camps of Yuendumu as a postgraduate of the Australian National University and as a postdoctoral fellow with the University of Western Australia.
