Works about this Work

Writers on Country BlackWords : Writers on Country Anita Heiss , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: The BlackWords Essays 2015; (p. 3) The BlackWords Essays 2019;

In this essay Heiss not only illustrates the breakdown of stereotypes of what Indigenous relationship with land is, but she showcases the wealth of literature being penned nationally by writers who express the diversity of their experiences of 'country'. Whether it be their traditional lands, places they have chosen to relocate to; those that they or their families were removed to; places that people call home and/or connect to; and those who embrace a physical landscape. An historical, social and political space that renders them specifically and culturally significant to individuals, families and community.
You've Got to Drown in It Nia Emmanouil , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: PAN , no. 11 2014-2015; (p. 41-47) 'The sun hangs low in the sky, a sliver of a new moon chasing it down into the canopies of nearby mangroves. Across the fire Frans rasps a piece of irigirll (Hakea arborescens), shaping it into a boomerang with the same name, irigirll: tree and boomerang are one. We have sat on this same ground many times before, during previous walks of the Lurujarri Dreaming Trail. Does the country here at Wirrar (Barred Creek) remember us? Maybe some places are just right for sitting, sleeping, telling stories, if there is good feeling there.' (Publication abstract)
Australian Indigenous Philosophy Stephen Muecke , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: CLCWeb : Comparative Literature and Culture , June vol. 13 no. 2 2011; 'In his article "Australian Indigenous Philosophy" Stephen Muecke discusses the fact that neither Australian philosophy nor Indigenous Australian philosophy exists as a field of study. Settler Australians have imported their philosophical traditions and have left it up to other disciplines to undertake the translation work of knowledge in the long-lived Indigenous traditions. Here, anthropology, history, and cultural studies have taken up the challenge. Muecke revisits his 2004 book Ancient and Modern: Time, Culture and Indigenous Philosophy in order to refine some of his arguments about philosophical practice and the damaging periodization into "ancient" and "modern" cultures in colonial societies like Australia.'

[Review Essay] Yorro Yorro, Everything Standing up Alive : Spirit of the Kimberley Bruno David , 1994 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 1994; (p. 75-76)

One day in 1980, David Mowaljarlai, a Ngarinyin elder, walked into the office of one of Jutta Malnic's co-workers. He was seeking assistance to help him record cultural places in his home country in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Jutta Malnic was at the time writing a book about the rock pictures of Australia, and was looking for assistance from Aboriginal custodians of the Kimberley region. Her book was published in 1982, but the greater outcome of her associations with David Mowaljarlai was Yorro Yorro. ' (Introduction)
