Opis

Using sport as a lens, this book celebrates Wiradjuri culture and the joys of life within an Aboriginal Australian community. As it examines the physical activities and sports that are valued by native Australians--including games, bare-knuckle fighting, and storytelling that incorporates a significant physical performance component--this account offers an alternative to the commonly told stories of disadvantage by underscoring Indigenous strength. Offering a deeper understanding of how independently Aboriginal Australians live and of the racism they face, it argues that they are far more than the mere sum of their grievances.
