- Description
- For two years Zohl dé Ishtar lived in a one-room tin shed with the women elders of Wirrimanu, a community on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, Australia. She assisted the elders in establishing Kapululangu, a women's law and culture centre. This book is a historical account of Wirrimanu and a sociological analysis of white culture interfering with indigenous women's law and culture. Zohl developed a research philosophy and methodology from an Indigenous-centred approach, complemented by participatory action research, relationship as central to socio-cultural dynamics, and feminist phenomenology.
