AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'These two excellent volumes fortuitously have appeared together, and can be read consecutively. Yikarni is a collection of historical narratives, mainly told in Gurindji, with an English translation on the opposite page. Charlie Ward, in A Handful of Sand, after a prolegomena that effectively takes up half the book, covers the declining fortunes of the Gurindji since Whitlam’s epic handful of sand.' (Introduction)
