AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Yuendumu Everyday by Yasmine Musharbash is a subtle yet moving ethnography of how Warlpiri living at Yuendumu, and more particularly, how Warlpiri unmarried women living in jilimis, dwell in their contemporary houses. Inspired by the philosophical reflections of Martin Heidegger and Gaston Bachelard, but working deep within local Warlpiri ways of being, Musharbash seeks to demonstrate that the built environment does not determine life, but ways of being determine how the built environment is used and interpreted.'  (Introduction)
