AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Shadow lines is a deeply moving biography of Stephen Kinnane’s maternal grandmother, Jessie Smith (née Argyle), removed in 1906 from her mother and extended family in Miriwoong country, eastern Kimberley. It also traces the life of his English grandfather, Edward Smith: his childhood, immigration to Western Australia and later marriage to Jessie Argyle. Shadow lines is a remarkable story of a woman’s fight for the right to live unhindered by government policies regarding Aborigines, at a time when Aboriginal lives were forfeit to the whims of white bureaucracy.' (Introduction)

    'In this issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies we present a diversity of articles. Michael Rowland considers the revival of the caricature of the ‘noble savage’— or ‘ecologically noble savage’ existing in harmony with nature—that he has identified in some recent publications on environmental issues, and discusses negative implications of the concept. In doing so, he faces the possibility that such a critique might be seen as an attack on indigeneity, but is bolstered by the observation that his criticisms are shared by some Indigenous Australian scholars.'  (Editorial introduction)
