AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The word Aborigine is best used the way the dark people of southeastern Australia themselves use It: to include any person of Aboriginal ancestry, To be Aboriginal, in their own view, is to belong to, to be loyal to, the small closed communities of kin and friends who are fellow Kooris, scattered enclaves in a world of whites,' (Introduction)

    'Being black brings together the results of research by a range of renowned anthropologists focusing on the social life of people who used to be labelled 'part-Aborigines' or 'urban Aborigines'. The research cover issues like the basis of identity; the ties of family; the structure of communities; ways of speaking; beliefs and feelings about country, and attitudes to the past.'
