Fighting for survival: The Ngaanyatjarra of the Gibson Desert | Prose Books |
by Liz Thompson. |
DESCRIPTION All over the world indigenous people speak of the same experience of development. They are often marginalised, dispossessed of their land and robbed of their culture. Missionaries bring foreign belief systems, and children go to school rather than being taught by their elders. Social organization, law, magic, the environment, male and female roles, diet, clothing – all these things are in a state of transition as once-isolated communities come into contact with the outside world. Through a montage of text and stunning photographs, diary extracts and the words of the people themselves, this book explores the experience of change in a tribal culture: it’s fight for survival. Please refer to the photographs to aid in the description and condition. Should you have any further questions, please contact us. Ex-Library Book: This book is an ex-library book. As shown in the photos, there is some remnants of this. Where possible the library barcodes, contact covering, RFID label and paperwork are removed from our books, however if we feel it will damage the book, we will keep it in place. |
