Our Heart is the Land Aboriginal Reminiscences from the Western Laske Eyre Basin SHAW, Bruce Availability: Out of print; Electronic Book Format www.ebooks.com This timely collection of Aboriginal life histories provides a glimpse of a world about which little has been published previously. Focusing on themes such as religious life, living off the land, Dreamings and missions, and using the voices of men and women living in and around Lake Eyre basin today, Bruce Shaw records a history of oppression and deprivation, disease and exploitation, but also celebrates the survival of a rich culture, and the growth of political awareness and community self-management. |
