Annotation. Josie and Eliza witness an event that changes their lives forever.
This compelling book is an extended case study of the social and legal ramifications of a homicide in a Tiwi community. The author gives a detailed account of the life of the victim and the events surrounding his murder, and describes the cycle of mortuary and seasonal rituals with their elaborate songs and dances. He also looks at the dramatic changes in Tiwi society over the last 100 years, and examines how the Tiwi have responded to the intervention of Western culture. In many areas, he finds, they have adapted and retained their own value system. Venbrux's account of the investigation and trial following the homicide provides timely and important insights into the issue of Aboriginal People, traditional law and the Australian criminal justice system. Through the strong narrative thread of this book we are presented with an incisive picture of a culture amid conflict and change.
"My name in Monei Ntuka and this is the story of my childhood in the village of Mochudi, in the then British Bechuanaland Protectorate, in the mid to late sixties. It is, of course, not the whole story of my youth, for didn't my grandmother Mma-Tseitsi, mother of my father, tell me many times, A tongue can talk until numb with fatigue, but it can never tell the whole story'? And didn't she gently admonish me saying, Child of my child, a good story teller knows when to stop, just as a dreamer knows when to wake up.' In any event, a look at self can never be a full stare; it has to be a series of glimpses."
Annotation How do you decide how to live? Or do others make that decision for you? In this lyrical novel, award-wining author Beryl Fletcher explores the pardoxes of modern life. As a new academic, Julia finds her feminist beliefs challenged by her students, reinforced by her friend's mistreatment and dismissed by her family. Just as her mother sought freedom from her family's rural poverty, Julia searches for her own solace, finding it in different and disparate places. (Part of the Spinifex Feminist Classic series.).
A funny, touching memoir of writer Beryl Fletcher's life. Beginning with a childhood in wartime New Zealand and covering a move to Australia, living in Kings Cross and later, rural New South Wales and Beryl's growing feminist consciousness.
An international anthology by feminists working in the field of electronic publishing, electronic activism, electronic data delivery, multimedia production, virtual reality creation, developing programs or products electronically, as well as those developing critiques of electronic culture. This collection explores what the possibilities are for feminists and for feminism. It also grapples with the pitfalls of the medium. The book, however, does not assume that the technology in itself is negative, but rather how it is used is open to critique. This leaves open the possibility of feminists having an impact on the way the technologies develop. The book includes connecting HTML with poetry, developing resources for Women's Studies and libraries, on-line, CD-ROM and VRML developments. The book has markets across trade and educational sectors and could be used at secondary and tertiary levels.

Esther is a half-blood Cherokee Native American who has special gifts that she uses to fight corruption and violence. Like Esther of old, she is also meant to save her people from a modern-day Trail of Tears and extinction by those who make a fortune off of cancer treatments and don’t want the discovered cure—that is in her DNA—to be made available to the world. The corrupt SolMaize group has infiltrated world organizations at the highest levels and The Resistance has recruited Esther because of her special gifts. Robert and John are assigned to protect Esther from terrorist attacks, assassination attempts, explosions, and espionage; but they’ve already lost their hearts to her charm. Which one will she choose? Here’s what readers are saying: “I loved it! While both books stand alone, you’ll also want to read the first book: ‘The Cherokee Princess and the Bloodwood Flute’. Both great books!” – L. Warren “I loved this story! It was great! When is the next book coming out?” – M. Rake
