White Flour, White Power: From Rations to Citizenship in Central Australia
ISBN: 9780521624572 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book focuses on the colonial practice of rationing goods to Aboriginal people, arguing that much of the colonial experience in Central Australia can be understood by seeing rationing as a fundamental, though flexible, instrument of colonial government.

Combining history and anthropology in a cultural study of rationing, this book develops a new narrative of the colonization of Central Australia.
