Description
How might we think and talk about indigenous philosophy Why has Aboriginal knowledge not been given the status of philosophical knowledge, but treated by whites rather as culture or history There is a quarrel about whose antiquity is at the foundation of Australian culture, and why contemporary forms of Aboriginality are marginal to Australia's modernity. These are the starting points for the essays contained in Stephen Muecke's original and challenging book.
