Us Women, Our Ways, Our World edited by Darlene Oxenham & Jeannie Herbert & Jill Milroy & Pat Dudgeon

$35.00

An exemplar of Indigenous Studies writing, epistemologically, theoretically and methodologically

A collection of writings on women and Aboriginal identity from 14 senior Indigenous academics and community leaders. The collection engages with questions such as: What makes Aboriginal women strong? Why are grandmothers so important (even ones never met)? How is the connection to country different for Aboriginal people compared to non-Aboriginal people's love of nature or sense of belonging to an area? What is Aboriginal spirituality?

These writings are generous, inclusive and considerate of the non-Aboriginal reader's feelings. They are hopeful for the future, with an emphasis on acknowledging, joining with, collaborating and caring.

Testimonials

" I am using my recent purchase of 'Us women, Our ways, Our world' to learn about Indigenous women and their stories. I am learning how I, a non-Indigenous woman, can break the cross cultural gap and be an advocate for Indigenous Australians in both the Dental and Paramedic industries once I graduate."
