1 All One Family Chris Birdsall , 1988 single work criticism
— Appears in: Being Black: Aboriginal Cultures in 'Settled' Australia 1988; (p. 137-158)

'...The extent of Nyungar success in maintaining their identity and their distinct style of life may be measured in part by their capacity to retain their own form of social structure within the towns and their adopted country. hundreds of kilometres distant from their traditional regions in the southwest. It is the purpose of this chapter to examine the bases of social identity and the form of kinship organisation that have enabled the Nyungar people to maintain themselves as a distinct socio-cultural group within the wider Australian society.'
