Download or read book A Good Life written by Mary Edmunds and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a story. It's a story about ordinary people in very different parts of the world dealing with rapid change in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It's about times of turbulent and violent social upheaval and rupture with the past. It's about modern times. It's also about being human; what it is to be human in a modernising and globalising world; how, in responding to the circumstances of their times, different groups define, redefine, and attempt to put into practice their understandings of the good and of what constitutes a good life. And it's about how human rights have come to be not abstract universal principles but a practical source of consciousness and practice for real people.
Book Synopsis Under a Bilari Tree I Born by : Alice Bilari Smith
Download or read book Under a Bilari Tree I Born written by Alice Bilari Smith and published by Fremantle Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing up nine children of your own is a major achievement in itself. Bringing up a further fifteen foster children is truly remarkable … Alice Bilari Smith had lived in the Pilbara all her life, on stations and in the bush, on government reserves and in towns. As a girl on Rocklea Station she narrowly avoided removal from her family by ‘the Welfare’. Instead, Alice learned to cook and launder, sew and clean; shoe horses, chop wood and milk cows. Her working life on stations continued as a young married woman and she added mustering, dingo scalping, shearers’ assistant and sheep-yard building to her skills. Alice Bilari Smith also grew up in the ways of her country, hunting, cooking and building in the traditional manner. Some of her children were born in the bush; others in hospital. By the time she had five children of her own she was playing an active role in caring for other Aboriginal children and she initiated the establishment of a Homemakers Centre in Roebourne. Both a remarkable life and a typical life, Alice’s story is insightful and inspiring.

Book Synopsis Re-awakening Languages by : John Hobson
Download or read book Re-awakening Languages written by John Hobson and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indigenous languages of Australia have been undergoing a renaissance over recent decades. Many languages that had long ceased to be heard in public and consequently deemed 'dead' or 'extinct', have begun to emerge. Geographically and linguistically isolated, revitalisers of Indigenous Australian languages have often struggled to find guidance for their circumstances, unaware of the others walking a similar path. In this context Re-awakening Languages seeks to provide the first comprehensive snapshot of the actions and aspirations of Indigenous people and their supporters for the revitalisation of Australian languages in the 21st century. The contributions to this volume describe the satisfactions and tensions of this ongoing struggle. They also draw attention to the need for effective planning and strong advocacy at the highest political and administrative levels, if language revitalisation in Australia is to be successful and people's efforts are to have longevity.

Book Synopsis Australian Languages by : Claire Bowern
Download or read book Australian Languages written by Claire Bowern and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses controversial issues in the application of the comparative method to the languages of Australia which have recently come to international prominence. Are these languages 'different' in ways that challenge the fundamental assumptions of historical linguistics? Can subgrouping be successfully undertaken using the Comparative Method? Is the genetic construct of a far-flung 'Pama-Nyungan' language family supportable by classic methods of reconstruction? Contrary to increasingly established views of the Australian scene, this book makes a major contribution to the demonstration that traditional methods can indeed be applied to these languages. These studies, introduced by chapters on subgrouping methodology and the history of Australian linguistic classification, rigorously apply the comparative method to establishing subgroups among Australian languages and justifying the phonology of Proto-Pama-Nyungan. Individual chapters can profitably be read either for their contribution to Australian linguistic prehistory or as case studies in the application of the comparative method. Contributions by: B. Alpher; B. Baker; C. Bowern; C. Bowern & H. Koch; G. Breen; L. Campbell; I. Green & R. Nordlinger; L. Hercus & P. Austin; H. Koch; P. McConvell & M. Laughren; L. Miceli; G. O'Grady & K. L. Hale; J.
