Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Warren Braedon, named by his adoptive parents Louis St John Johnson, was taken from his mother in Alice Springs at just three months old. Told he had been abandoned, Louis's adoptive parents, Bill and Pauline Johnson raised him in a loving family in Perth. Despite a happy childhood, Louis was increasingly targeted by school bullies and police for his Aboriginality. As he grew older, his need to meet his natural family prompted visits to Alice Springs with his parents, but they were thwarted by bureaucracy. He was planning to return to Alice Springs when, walking home on his nineteenth birthday, Louis was brutally murdered by a group of white youths whose admitted motive was 'because he was black'. Originally published in the multi-award-winning and seminal history of the Stolen Generations, Broken Circles by Anna Haebich, the story of Louis Johnson/Warren Braedon captures the dark heart of racism in modern Australia, through the tragic story of one boy and his short life.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation. Historian Anna Haebich documents how the Nyungar people of Western Australia strategically and courageously adapted their rich performance culture to survive the catastrophe that engulfed them, and generously share their culture, history, and language in theatre. In public corroborees they performed their sovereignty to the colonists and in community-only gatherings they danced and sang to bring forth resilience and spiritual healing. Pushed away by the colonists and denied their culture and lands they continued to live and perform in the shadows over the years, in combinations of the old and the new, including indigenised settler songs and dances. Nyungar people survived, and they now number around 40,000 people and constitute the largest Aboriginal nation in the Australian settler state. The ancient family lineages live in city suburbs and country towns and they continue to perform to celebrate their ancestors and to strengthen community wellbeing by being together. Dancing in Shadows sheds light on a little-known history of Nyungar performance. "Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation.

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. Near fine condition In Australia, the lure of bounty from mineral riches has drawn generations of fortune hunters to its western third. For some this was a stop on the road to a better place, for many a destination for new beginnings, but for its original inhabitants dislocation was inevitable. In the 1980s, Perth became a byword for 'new wealth'. In the 21st century it has grown into a boomtown the likes of which Australia hasn't seen since the 1850s. There is evidence this is starting to slow, but what will be left when the mining boom is subdued? Western Australia is also huge and separated from the eastern populations by such a vast desert that it may almost be an island in its own right. This creates unique issues and perspectives which challenge the ideas and presumptions of the rest of Australia. Griffith Review 47: Looking West, co-edited by Julianne Schultz and Anna Haebich, examines booming Western Australia through essay, memoir, fiction and poetry by some of Western Australia's most exciting and innovative writers - Carmen Lawrence, David Whish-Wilson, Brooke Davis, Shaun Tan, Kim Scott, Steve Kinnane, Nick Allbrook and Tim Winton. The publication was a collaboration between Griffith Review and Curtin University.…

Walking home on his nineteenth birthday, Louis was brutally murdered by a group of white youths âbecause he was blackâ.This story captures the dark heart of racism in modern Australia, and the history, government policies and community attitudes that marked this boy out for a short life.Reviews:Devastating as it is, this book should be mandatory reading in schools.ÂTHE WEST AUSTRALIANHaebich and Micklerâs work is comprehensive, well researched and highly accessible. The decision of the authors to frame the text in their preface as one suitable to the âcontemporary young readerâ should not limit its potential scope for readers of all ages. Louis Johnson was just nineteen when he died in tragic circumstances, his death the result of racially motivated violence and prejudicial medical treatment. It is thus, in this reviewerâs opinion, an incredibly valuable case study of the very real effects of institutionalised racial violence in this country, and an important story to be told.LIMINA: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies 97 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : colour illustrations, colour portraits, colour photographs ; 21 cm Revised Edition Includes bibliographical references (pages [93]-97) #050124 Johnson, Louis St John, 1978-1992 Adopted children -- Australia -- Biography Children, Aboriginal Australian -- Biography Aboriginal Australians -- Crimes against -- Western Australia Murder victims -- Western Australia -- Biography Australian Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
