With essays by
John Fielder
Rosemary van den Berg
Ben Miller

This issue completes the collection of essays on Indigenous cultural
production introduced in the previous issue. It features a number of
discussions of storytelling, focusing in the case of Somerville and
Perkins on the collaborative practice of storytelling exchange in a
massacre story. Van den Berg looks at the functions of story-telling in
indigenous communities and Ravell discusses the Moore River experience in
life stories by van den Berg and Pilkington. Fielder examines Kim Scott's
fiction and collaborative life story work, while Miller reads Unaipon's
life and literary work in the context of mimicry and whiteness. Webb and
Mackinlay read the performance of song in urban and rural environments.
