This volume is about the social identities of young Indigenous
people in contemporary Australia, based on fieldwork in the rural
community of Yarrabah, in Queensland. This case study of Yarrabah
is based on seventeen ethnographic interviews with women and men in
their twenties. With the aim of exploring how diverse social
discourses have influenced the social identities of young
Indigenous people in contemporary Australia, this book represents
the life histories of these young people in Yarrabah in the context
of both the institutions with which they interact and the everyday
shape of life in Yarrabah. This volume also provides new material
for discussion of the ways in which Indigenous value systems,
broadly understood by the participants to be based on collectivism,
constantly come into conflict with Western values based on
individualism. While the young Indigenous people of Yarrabah do
continuously interact not only with multi-cultural Australia but
also with global influences, they are constantly aware of their own
distinctiveness in both contexts.
