A fascinating investigation into how Aboriginal women communicate their knowledge to gain a public voice and recognition of their rights to land.
Words and Silences: Aboriginal Women, Politics and Land discusses, from a variety of perspectives, the gendered nature of Aboriginal knowledge and relationships to the land within the context of the Australian political and legal system. The contributors consider who can speak and be heard in this cross-cultural environment; who is silenced; and why some Aboriginal women must remain silent even when their land is threatened.
