But the Prosecution had one 'rock solid' piece of evidence that nailed the accusedhis DNA. Nearly 18 months after Jama's incarceration, his conviction was overturned when a mother's profound faith in her son's innocence, a prosecutor's tenacious pursuit of truth and justice and a defence lawyer's belief in his client, brought forth revelations that overturned one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Victorian legal history.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The diaryarrived addressed to me, bearing a message:We live forever through ourstories. Tell ours.And so began the author's journeyinto the life and legends of the Naga a forgotten people living in the farnorth-east of India, struggling to survive in the modern world.An extraordinarily power…ful and evocative literarywork that traverses new ground in the hinterland between biography andmythology.Nagaland is the story of Augustine and of theNaga people. With sensitively poetic prose, Doherty deftly draws the readerinto worlds of parallel realities. The love story, desperate and damned,destined for tragedy; forged and upheld against the wishes of family and thedictates of culture, with a backdrop of violence and reprisals amidst thebrutality of communal conflict. Alongside this is the telling of Augustine'schildhood story, growing up in the beautiful mountain state of Nagaland where the traditional way of life, loyalties and beliefs collidewith modern imperatives that, for many, lead inexorably to poverty,dislocation, drug addiction, disease and despair.Seamlessly woventhrough each story, Naga legends and myths connect these disparate worlds, thesource of profound insights that are simultaneously confronting andtranscendent. Poignant and profound, the reader is left with a yearningnostalgia for a past where eternal truths prevailed, to be gleaned from ancientfables and sages; where a people lived in communities richly endowed withcultural and spiritual certainties, and were valued members of large family andtribal networks. Except, of course, if you choose not to follow the rules.'A few years ago a hand written diary from Nagaland arrived in Ben Doherty's mailbox, 'Its pages.overfilled, and seemingly without order, with drawings of birds and mountains and flowers.and scrawled verses of poetry'. The poems were written in Tangkhul, one of Nagaland's many dialects. The final words were in English and read: 'We live forever through our stories. Tell ours.' In writing Nagaland, Doherty has managed to do that splendidly.' - Erich Mayer, ArtsHub The diaryarrived addressed to me, bearing a message: We live forever through ourstories. Tell ours.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. *Shortlisted for the Small Press Network 2021 Book of the Year Award*The Tiniest House of Time is more than a family saga, ranging across continents and decades seamlessly, from colonial Burma in the 1930s to nationalist Malaysia in the 1990s and beyond, to Hong Kong and Australia. The reade…r is thrust into the lives of far-flung middle-class Indian communities: immersed in family and local politics and intimate relationships, swept along in the tide of grand historical events.History works in cycles, repeating itself, until we finally understand that everything that has happened, has always already happened.The story is driven by Iyer's two main characters, both strong women - Susheela Sastri and Sandhya Sastri - who are grandmother and granddaughter, but could have been born of the same atom. Sandhya visits her grandmother's deathbed after having run away from her country, her family, her love, and herself. She remembers her grandmother's stories, of a lost time in Burma, and digs deep to find truth in it. A dying Susheela, impatient with her family's pity, asks Sandhya to read to her. It opens up past events in both their lives, the family dynamics, the forbidden loves, the politics of who can be hated, when, and by whom.And what can they, as women of their times, actually do about it.'The historical background of this book is complex and fascinating, as is the story of these two women's lives as they negotiate dilemmas around culture, religion, and race.' - The Sydney Morning Herald'Sreedhevi Iyer'sThe Tiniest House of Timeis a book for our time, examining as it does the profound silences that a family lives with, silences embedded in a history of displacement, and the uprooting from what was considered home. In tracking hidden and unspoken histories, of which there is little written record, the author has written something of a psychoanalytically focused and politically acute narrative, as she explores through her finely structured novel, an evocation of generational trauma across migratory continental space. With much sensitivity and intelligence, Iyer delineates the colonial legacy of race relations, and how this legacy weighs down on those societies still navigating them.' -Mascara Literary ReviewView sample chapters here The Tiniest House of Time History works in cycles, repeating itself, until we finally understand that everything that has happened, has always already happened.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Maddy spent her early years in the Northern Territory before her family moved back to Western Australia. Maddy's love of the sea and everything in it was nurtured by her beloved grandfather who would take her fishing and snorkelling in the ocean off Busselton, south of Perth. On these trips…he would regale her with his many stories of shipwrecks around the coast and share his great curiosity in the natural and human-made world.Still only a 14-year-old teenager and already a certified SCUBA diver, her passion for maritime archaeology in particular, was sparked by a lecture she attended in Busselton where her family had finally settled. A maritime archaeologist from the Museum of Western Australia in Perth told the gathering the story of the shipwreck of a cargo ship Georgette, that occurred in 1876, south of Busselton. At great risk to themselves, two courageous young people who lived in the area, Indigenous man Sam Isaacs and 16-year-old Grace Bussell, rode their horses into the boiling surf to rescue survivors.Dr Maddy McAllister is now the Senior Curator of Maritime Archaeology at Queensland Museum Network and is based in the Museum of Tropical Queensland in Townsville. Her PhD research was on the notorious Batavia shipwreck of 1629 in the Houtman Abrolhos Islands of Western Australia.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The diaryarrived addressed to me, bearing a message:We live forever through ourstories. Tell ours.And so began the author's journeyinto the life and legends of the Naga a forgotten people living in the farnorth-east of India, struggling to survive in the modern world.An extraordinarily power…ful and evocative literarywork that traverses new ground in the hinterland between biography andmythology.Nagaland is the story of Augustine and of theNaga people. With sensitively poetic prose, Doherty deftly draws the readerinto worlds of parallel realities. The love story, desperate and damned,destined for tragedy; forged and upheld against the wishes of family and thedictates of culture, with a backdrop of violence and reprisals amidst thebrutality of communal conflict. Alongside this is the telling of Augustine'schildhood story, growing up in the beautiful mountain state of Nagaland where the traditional way of life, loyalties and beliefs collidewith modern imperatives that, for many, lead inexorably to poverty,dislocation, drug addiction, disease and despair.Seamlessly woventhrough each story, Naga legends and myths connect these disparate worlds, thesource of profound insights that are simultaneously confronting andtranscendent. Poignant and profound, the reader is left with a yearningnostalgia for a past where eternal truths prevailed, to be gleaned from ancientfables and sages; where a people lived in communities richly endowed withcultural and spiritual certainties, and were valued members of large family andtribal networks. Except, of course, if you choose not to follow the rules.'A few years ago a hand written diary from Nagaland arrived in Ben Doherty's mailbox, 'Its pages.overfilled, and seemingly without order, with drawings of birds and mountains and flowers.and scrawled verses of poetry'. The poems were written in Tangkhul, one of Nagaland's many dialects. The final words were in English and read: 'We live forever through our stories. Tell ours.' In writing Nagaland, Doherty has managed to do that splendidly.' - Erich Mayer, ArtsHub The diaryarrived addressed to me, bearing a message: We live forever through ourstories. Tell ours.

On 21st July 2008, 21-year-old Somali, Farah Jama was sentenced to six years behind bars f…or the rape of a middle-aged woman as she lay unconscious in a Melbourne nightclub. Throughout the trial Jama had maintained his innocence against the accusations he committed such a predatory, heinous crime. But the Prosecution had one 'rock solid' piece of evidence that nailed the accusedhis DNA. Nearly 18 months after Jama's incarceration, his conviction was overturned when a mother's profound faith in her son's innocence, a prosecutor's tenacious pursuit of truth and justice and a defence lawyer's belief in his client, brought forth revelations that overturned one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Victorian legal history.
