Book 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 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.
Blending anecdote, theory and personal reflection, Muecke moves from film to travel to politics to religion, gathering knowledge, revisiting theory and recasting key assumptions.
With passion and conviction, and a sense of experiment and discovery, this book calls for a new kind of modernity. This will be a modernity that is contradictory, yet inclusive at the same time, and which allows for a range of inventive responses to the contemporary world.
