Looking beyond the linear documentary past of Western or academic history, this collection asks how knowledge systems of Australia’s Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders can broaden our understandings of the past and of historical practice. Indigenous embodied practices for knowing, narrating, and reenacting the past in the present blur the distinctions of linear time, making all history \u003ci\u003enow\u003c\/i\u003e. Ultimately, questions of time and language are questions of Indigenous sovereignty. The Australian case is especially pertinent because Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are among the few Native peoples without a treaty with their colonizers. Appreciating First Nations’ time concepts embedded in languages and practices, as \u003ci\u003eEverywhen\u003c\/i\u003e does, is a route to recognizing diverse forms of Indigenous sovereignties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eEverywhen\u003c\/i\u003e seeks a beyond: beyond colonial temporalities of progress and linearity, beyond the prehistorical ‘ancient,’ and into a newly defined Deep History that is, by its very nature, Indigenous. There, the meeting of time, land, and language offer challenging new analytical insights that demand a radical reorientation of the way we think and write about the past. . . . Ann McGrath, Laura Rademaker, and Jakelin Troy have assembled a stunning volume, rich in thought-provoking ideas and debate.”—Philip Deloria, Leverett Saltonstall Professor of History at Harvard University\u003cbr\u003e“A stellar lineup of renowned researchers reveals the extraordinary richness of Indigenous conceptualizations of the past and its relationship to the present with nuanced, focused, and meaningful translations.”—Lynette Russell, Kathleen Fitzpatrick Laureate Fellow at Monash University\u003cbr\u003e“This engaging volume illuminates Aboriginal understanding of the deep past . . . through considerations of language, story, song, dance, engravings on the landscape. Indigenous temporalities rooted in storied places challenge Western notions of linearity.”—Jean O’Brien, Distinguished McKnight University Professor of History at the University of Minnesota\u003cbr\u003e“This insightful book centers the deep-time sense of belonging of Indigenous people in Australia, who trace their ancestral connections back at least sixty-five thousand years. . . . The contributors emphasize how Indigenous conceptions of time rest on a profound kinship with the land and water and how Indigenous practices of history value stories of continuity and persistence more than rupture.”—Margaret Jacobs, Charles Mach Professor of History at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and co-director of the Genoa Indian School Digital Reconciliation Project\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eEverywhen\u003c\/i\u003e melts divisions between present and past, bringing current knowledge to understanding the vast early stories of the continent now known as Australia.
