Description - Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies II by Natasha Fijn
This
is the second volume to emerge from a project on Indigenous participation in
the Australian economy, funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC)
Linkage Grant, and involving the cooperation of the School of Archaeology and
Anthropology at The Australian National University and the National Museum of
Australia. The Chief Investigators were Ian Keen, Chris Lloyd, Anthony
Redmond, the Partner Investigator was Mike Pickering, Fiona Skyring was an
associate researcher on the project, and Natasha Fijn was research assistant.
The present volume arises out of a conference in Canberra on Indigenous
Participation in Australian Economies at the National Museum of Australia on
9–10 November 2009, which attracted more than thirty presenters. The diverse
themes included histories of economic relations, the role of camels and
dingoes in Indigenous–settler relations, material culture and the economy,
the economies of communities from missions and stations to fringe camps and
towns, the transitions from payment-in-kind to wage economies and Community
Development Employment Projects, the issue of unpaid and stolen wages, local
enterprises, and conflicts over development. Sixteen of those papers have
been developed as chapters in this volume, together with a foreword by
Professor Jon Altman. This book comprises a companion volume to Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies: Historical
and Anthropological Perspectives, published by ANU
Press in 2010.
