Dreaming Ecology: Nomadics and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge, Victoria River, Northern Australia

Dreaming Ecology: Nomadics and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge, Victoria River, Northern Australia - Deborah Bird Rose

Dreaming Ecology: Nomadics and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge, Victoria River, Northern Australia

In the author's own words, Dreaming Ecology 'explores a holistic understanding of the interconnections of people, country, kinship, creation and the living world within a context of mobility. Implicitly it asks how people lived so sustainably for so long'. It offers a telling critique of the loss of Indigenous life, human and non-human, in the wake of white settler colonialism and this becoming 'cattle country'. It offers a fresh perspective on nomadics grounded in 'footwalk epistemology' and 'an ethics of return sustained across different species, events, practices and scales'.

'This is the final and most substantial of Debbie's love letters to the Aboriginal people of the Victoria River Downs. I say this because there is such a sense of reverence, wonder and respect throughout the book. The introduction of concepts of double-death, footwalk epistemology, wild country ... are not only organising ideas but characterisations arising from what Debbie hears, sees and feels of herself and Aboriginal others ... I think of it in terms of love, if love is care, reciprocal respect, deep connectivity and a strong desire to never make less of the people she chose to commit herself to.'

-Richard Davis

'This book was a pleasure to read, filled with careful description of people, places, and various plants and animals, and insightful analysis of the patterns and commitments that hold them together in the world.'

-Thom van Dooren
