Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sweeping saga that begins with "Golden Bloodline - Unveiling the Riley Legacy" now traverses continents to the vibrant heart of India, we follow the Brody family's extraordinary journey through tumult, triumph, and the relentless pursuit of destiny. Levi Brody, born of a lineage shadowed by the infamous Jack Riley, breaks free from the chains of his past to forge a path of his own in the burgeoning city of Ballarat during the 1860s. His adventures, from the depths of the Australian gold rush to the bustling streets of Melbourne, set the stage for a legacy of courage and determination that will echo through generations. As the torch is passed to his son, Samuel Brody, we are swept away to the British Raj's exotic and tumultuous landscape. Samuel, driven by an insatiable quest for adventure and a desire to carve his mark in the world, embarks on a journey that takes him from the prestigious halls of Clarendon College Ballarat to the rugged frontiers of Punjab. Alongside Eleanor, his spirited and compassionate companion, Samuel's life becomes intertwined with the fate of an empire, facing challenges that test the limits of their love, courage, and commitment to justice. This epic narrative weaves a rich tapestry of history, romance, and adventure from Melbourne's dark alleys to Rawalpindi's majestic palaces. At its heart, it is a story of family, the struggles that define us, the choices that shape our destiny, and the indomitable spirit that drives us to seek our place in the world. Dive into this captivating novel, where history comes alive and the saga of the Brody (nee Riley) family unfolds, a testament to the enduring power of love, loyalty, and the unyielding quest for freedom. Join us on a journey through time and across continents, where each page promises adventure, the allure of the unknown, and the unbreakable bonds that define us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is about the indigenous Nyoongar people of the south-west of Western Australia and their perspectives on racism, which has had a devastating effect on their lives and culture since colonisation; and the multicultural policies that are effective in Australia. The author, and those Nyoongars interviewed, give valuable insight into Aboriginal lives. Their comments reveal how Nyoongar people survived the colonialism, cultural genocide, the horrendous state government policies under which they were forced to exist, the Stolen Generations of children and the loss of their land, identity, culture, and purpose in their lives. Presently, they are fighting for equality and for recognition as being part of the oldest living culture in the world, that of the Australian Aborigines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Fiction as Archival Salvage examines key developments in the field of the Australian postcolonial historical novel from 1989 to the present. In parallel with this analysis, A. Frances Johnson undertakes a unique study of in-kind creativity, reflecting on how her own nascent historical fiction has been critically and imaginatively shaped and inspired by seminal experiments in the genre – by writers as diverse as Kate Grenville, Mudrooroo, Kim Scott, Peter Carey, Richard Flanagan, and Rohan Wilson. Mapping the postcolonial novel against the impact of postcolonial cultural theory and Australian writers’ intermittent embrace of literary postmodernism, this survey is also read against the post-millenial ‘history’ and ‘culture wars’ which saw politicizations of national debates around history and fierce contestation over the ways stories of Australian pasts have been written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring international contributions from leading and emerging scholars, this innovative Research Handbook presents a panoramic view of how law sees visual art, and how visual art sees law. It resists the conventional approach to art and law as inherently dissonant – one a discipline preoccupied with rationality, certainty and objectivity; the other a creative enterprise ensconced in the imaginary and inviting multiple, unique and subjective interpretations. Blending these two distinct disciplines, this unique Research Handbook bridges the gap between art and law.

This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia and New Zealand, united geographically by their location in the South Pacific and linguistically by their English-speaking inhabitants, share the strong bond of hope for cultural diversity and social equality--one often challenged by history, starting with the appropriation of land from their Indigenous peoples. This volume explores significant themes and topics in Australian and New Zealand literature. In their introduction, the editors address both the commonalities and differences between the two nations' literatures by considering literary and historical contexts and by making nuanced connections between the global and the local. Contributors share their experiences teaching literature on the iconic landscape and ecological fragility; stories and perspectives of convicts, migrants, and refugees; and Maori and Aboriginal texts, which add much to the transnational turn. This volume presents a wide array of writers--such as Patrick White, Janet Frame, Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Witi Ihimaera, Christina Stead, Allen Curnow, David Malouf, Les Murray, Nam Le, Miles Franklin, Kim Scott, and Sally Morgan--and offers pedagogical tools for teachers to consider issues that include colonial and racial violence, performance traditions, and the role of language and translation. Concluding with a list of resources, this volume serves to support new and experienced instructors alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the development of 'community archaeology', identifying both its advantages and disadvantages by describing how and why tensions have arisen between archaeological and community understandings of the past. The focus of this book is the conceptual disjunction between heritage and data and the problems this poses for both archaeologists and communities in communicating and engaging with each other. In order to explain the extent of the miscommunication that can occur, the authors examine the ways in which a range of community groups, including communities of expertise, define and negotiate memory and identity. Importantly, they explore the ways in which these expressions are used, or are taken up, in struggles over cultural recognition - and ultimately, the practical, ethical, political and theoretical implications this has for archaeologists engaging in community work. Finally, they argue that there are very real advantages for archaeological research, theory and practice to be gained from engaging with communities.
