More about the book

Focusing on the Warlpiri people, this ethnographic account delves into their experiences as they navigate life in white towns and cities while maintaining ties to their traditional homelands. It highlights the transformative effects of dispossession and interactions with ranchers, missionaries, and government initiatives. By following Warlpiri matriarchs in their new environments, the book examines their resilience, independence, and evolving connections to their cultural heritage.
