AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An arresting cover, with the title superimposed over an engaging photo of two Kaytetye children, sets the tone for Growing up Kaytetye. It is a book of stories, holding the theme of beginnings, culture and history of the Kaytetye people originally told by Tommy Kngwarraye Thompson in his mother tongue and transcribed by Myfany Turpin. But don’t be alarmed, there is a translation. Turpin has, in collaboration with Thompson and others, produced a paragraph-byparagraph Australian English translation which has been written in a clear English style. The two languages are contrasted by the use of two-colour print so that it is easy to follow either of the languages.' (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)
