An Australian Indigenous Diaspora: Warlpiri Matriarchs and the Refashioning of Tradition

By Paul Burke

Book Overview

The first full-length ethnography applying the concept of diaspora to indigenous migration within the nation state. The first full-length account to provide a double perspective (both home and away) of the migration of Australian Indigenous people from remote settlements to towns and cities. The first full-length account of indigenous migration to explicitly adopt an intercultural approach i.e. not just of cultural conflict but of new social technologies developed for surviving and thriving in non-kin society.
