1 y separately published work icon An Australian Indigenous Diaspora : Warlpiri Matriarchs and the Refashioning of Tradition Paula Burke , New York (City) : Berghahn Books , 2018 15303975 2018 multi chapter work criticism biography

'Some indigenous people, while remaining attached to their traditional homelands, leave them to make a new life for themselves in white towns and cities, thus constituting an "indigenous diaspora". This innovative book is the first ethnographic account of one such indigenous diaspora, the Warlpiri, whose traditional hunter-gatherer life has been transformed through their dispossession and involvement with ranchers, missionaries, and successive government projects of recognition. By following several Warlpiri matriarchs into their new locations, far from their home settlements, this book explores how they sustained their independent lives, and examines their changing relationship with the traditional culture they represent.'  (Publication summary)
