Book Synopsis
A study that addresses the Arrernte's contemporary situation. It documents the immense sociocultural changes they have experienced. It traces the history of the Arrernte as they have transitioned from a society of hunter-gatherers to members of the Hermannsburg Mission community to their marginalized position in the modern Australian economy.

Trade Review
"This is a landmark book for indigenous studies, one of the best things I've read in years. I am really taken with the subtle way in which Austin-Broos characterizes and explains the formations of contemporary Arrernte life, the connections it has with the past, and the way in which she allows us to see the role of their imagination in making this world in the face of great difficulties." - Fred Myers, New York University"
