  • Long Time, Olden Timeby Peter Read; Jay Read

    IAD Press 1991; US$ 10.45

    The year is 1977, and Dinny Japaljarri remembers a time when the Northern Territory was a very different place. Twenty five years on, many of the events in this book now survive only in the memories of a generation that has passed, or is passing, away. Their stories, however, live on told here in the vibrant tradition of Aboriginal oral history, from the transcripts and recordings that form the basis for this fascinating and important document. From first contact with Macassans then Europeans, through two World Wars and beyond, Peter and Jay Read?s collection of stories stands as a unique record of Aboriginal accounts of the conflict and co-existence that have defined the flavour of the Territory. more...

  • The Politics of Suffering: Indigenous Australia and the end of the liberal consensusby Peter Sutton

    Melbourne University Publishing 2011; US$ 25.96

    Peter Sutton is a fearless and authoritative voice in Aboriginal politics. In this groundbreaking book, he asks why, after three decades of liberal thinking, has the suffering and grief in so many Aboriginal communities become worse? The picture Sutton presents is tragic. He marshals shocking evidence against the failures of the past, and argues provocatively that three decades of liberal consensus on Aboriginal issues has collapsed. Sutton is a leading Australian anthropologist who has lived and worked closely with Aboriginal communities. He combines clear-eyed, original observation with deep emotional engagement. The Politics of Suffering cuts through the cant and offers fresh insight and hope for a new era in Indigenous politics. more...
