Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives on contemporary cultural issues are presented in this collection of critical essays by Indigenous Australians. From museums and anthropology to land rights and feminism, a range of topics are covered that touch on both Indigenous and mainstream Australian history.

Discussions of identity politics, the concept of Aboriginality, and aesthetic representations of indigenous people are rich with insight about the evolution of Indigenous culture, with its shift from marginalisation to cultural prominence in modern scholarship.

Industry Reviews

'This is a ground-breaking volume. It brings together for the first time a range of Australia's leading Indigenous intellectuals in a book that sets up a dialogue dealing with issues of identity, history and representation, issues at the heart of the image of the nation. In Australia's history of national growth, its Indigenous peoples have always played a role at the defining moments. However whitefella narratives have tried to erase that role. This book works to restore that Indigenous agency.' Stephen Muecke, University of Technology, Sydney"
