Book Description
This book places life history writing by Australian Aboriginal women in the context of dreaming and ongoing negotiations about one’s status and claims to country. It argues that the (auto)biographical narrative is the binding connection between people and country and outlines the important role of indigenous life-history as part of Australian historical discourse.
