Some indigenous people, while remaining attached to their
traditional homelands, leave them to make a new life for themselves
in white towns and cities, thus constituting an "indigenous
diaspora". This innovative book is the first ethnographic account
of one such indigenous diaspora, the Warlpiri, whose traditional
hunter-gatherer life has been transformed through their
dispossession and involvement with ranchers, missionaries, and
successive government projects of recognition. By following several
Warlpiri matriarchs into their new locations, far from their home
settlements, this book explores how they sustained their
independent lives, and examines their changing relationship with
the traditional culture they represent.
