Anthropologist W.E.H. Stanner is perhaps most well known for
coining the phrase the 'great Australian silence', addressing the
culture of denial or 'conscious forgetting' regarding the history
Australia since European arrival.This reprint of On Aboriginal
Religion pays tribute to the ongoing relevance of Stanner's work.
His research into Aboriginal religion was first published as a
series of articles in the journal Oceania between 1959 and 1963. In
1963 the articles were published as the collection in as Oceania
Monograph 11, which was later reprinted as a facsimile edition with
introductory sections by Francesca Merlan and Les Hiatt (1989).As
Stanner writes in his introduction to the 1963 collection, 'I
thought I should take Aboriginal religion as significant in its own
right and make it the primary subject of study, rather than study
it, as was done so often in the past, mainly to discover the extent
to which it expressed or reflected facts and preoccupations of the
social order'. It is this dedication to recording the beliefs and
observing the practice of Aboriginal religion that has made this
monograph so important.
