New essays on the acclaimed Australian Indigenous author's entire
body of work, including his novels, short stories, poetry, and his
work with Indigenous language and health. Since the mid-1980s there
has been a sharp rise in the number of literary publications by
Indigenous Australians and in the readership and impact of those
works. One contemporary Aboriginal Australian author who continues
to makea contribution to both the Australian and the global canon
is Kim Scott (1957-). Scott has won many awards, including
Australia's highest, the prestigious Miles Franklin Award, for his
novels Benang (in 2000) and That Deadman Dance (in 2011). Scott has
also published in other literary genres, including poetry, the
short story, and children's literature, and he has written and
worked professionally on Indigenous health issues. Despite
Scott'snational and international acclaim, there is currently no
comprehensive critical companion that contextualizes his work for
scholars, students, and general readers. A Companion to the Works
of Kim Scott fills this void by providing a collection of eleven
original essays focusing on Scott's novels, short stories, poetry,
and his work with the Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories Project
and Indigenous health. The companion also includes an
originalinterview with the author. Contributors: Christine Choo,
Arindam Das, Per Henningsgaard, Tony Hughes-d'Aeth, Jeanine Leane,
Brenda Machosky, Nathanael Pree, Natalie Quinlivan, Lydia Saleh
Rofail, Lisa Slater, Rosalie Thackrah and Sandra Thompson, Belinda
Wheeler, Gillian Whitlock and Roger Osborne. Belinda Wheeler is
Associate Professor of English at Claflin University, Orangeburg,

In 2005, the Foundation for Agrarian Studies (FAS) initiated the
Project on Agrarian Relations in India (PARI), with the aim of
studying village-level production, production systems and
livelihoods, and the socio-economic characteristics of different
strata of the rural population by means of detailed village
surveys. The present volume is the third in a series of field
reports on surveys conducted by FAS in three villages in Karnataka:
Alabujanahalli in Mandya district, Siresandra in Kolar district,
and Zhapur in Gulbarga district. A census survey was conducted in
the three selected villages. A unique feature of these surveys is
the estimation of household incomes based on detailed information
on income from crop production, animal resources, agricultural and
non-agricultural wage labor, salaries, business and trade, rent,
interest earnings, pensions, remittances, scholarships and other
sources. The two previous volumes in the series, Socio-Economic
Surveys of Three of Three Villages in Andhra Pradesh: A Study of
Agrarian Relations and Socio-Economic Surveys of Two Villages in
Rajasthan: A Study of Agrarian Relations, have already appeared
from Tulika Books.
