First published in 1985, this book gives an intimate account of the
cultural-political conflict between Australian Aboriginal people
and Anglo-Australians, presenting the Australian social world from
the perspective of the Aboriginal person. Adopting a rigorous
ethnomethodological analysis and the techniques of
ethnolinguistics, Liberman looks at the interactional detail of the
everyday life of traditionally oriented Australian Aboriginals. He
uses tape transcripts of actual interaction to identify chief
characteristics of Aboriginal social life. Liberman goes on to show
how differences in systems of interaction have influenced relations
between Australian Aboriginals and Anglo-Australians. With its
account of the politics of cultural conflict in a multi-cultural
environment, this book is an apt extension of ethnomethodological
issues to political concerns. It also exposes Aboriginal
perceptions of Anglo-Australian/Aboriginal interaction to a degree
not previously achieved in any sociological or anthropological
study. As such, this book will be a valuable case study to students
of social anthropology, race relations, intercultural communication
and sociolinguistics.
