In struggles over access to land, Aboriginal women's concerns have
often remained unacknowledged. Their words - and silences - have
been frequently misheard, misunderstood, misrepresented,
misused.The controversy about 'secret women's business' in the
Hindmarsh Island Bridge conflict has brought this issue to the
attention of the general public. How can Aboriginal women assert
their claims while protecting, by remaining silent, their
culturally sensitive knowledge? How can they prevent their words
and silences being misrepresented?Words and Silences explores the
barriers confronting Aboriginal women trying to defend their land
rights. The contributors to this volume provide insights into the
intricacies of Aboriginal social and cultural knowledge, and
introduce the reader to different understandings of how the
gendered nature of Aboriginal land ownership adds complexity to the
cross-cultural encounter. In lively and engaging prose they
document the ongoing struggles of Aboriginal women across
Australia, who are fighting to ensure they receive due recognition
of their rights in land.
