Connection and Disconnection brings together twelve historians with an interest in encounters between Indigenous people and settlers in the Northern Territory.

Distance, Drought and Dispossession: A History of the Northern Territory Pastoral Industry | ||
Glen McLaren & William Cooper
ISBN 1 876248 56 4 PB 216pp 250x175 2001 Environment & NRM; Northern Australia; Law & Business
|
This history of the Northern Territory pastoral industry outlines how, for almost a century, cattlemen were subject to the tyrannies of distance and drought. Distance vitally affected time and cost of travel, income and quality of life. Similarly, geographic and environmental factors - especially drought - determined stocking rates, created mustering problems and affected the quality of livestock turned off, and overall profitability. |

Forgetting Compliance: Aboriginal Health and Medical Culture | ||
Kim Humphery and Tarun Weeramanthri with Joseph Fitz
ISBN 1 876248 59 9 PB 122pp 249x175 2001 |
This study provides both a critical insight into the institutionalised culture of health services provision in the Northern Territory and, most importantly, points towards ways in which that culture can be transformed. We conclude that 'compliance', thought of as a measure of patient uptake, must be forgotten. Instead, provision and uptake issues must be thought about simultaneously, as two sides of the one coin. |

David Carment, Robyn Maynard and Alan Powell (eds)
ISBN 0 949070 22 X PB 325pp 249x147 1990 |
This volume spans the period from the early British and French explorers of the Northern Territory coast to 1945 - and all those recorded herein are dead. Within that period, our work has shown, there are many, many more who would be worthy subjects for inclusion in a work of this kind; and there is a whole generation since 1945 as yet unrecorded. They are to be the subjects of later volumes in this series. |

It also, however, includes articles on many individuals who were prominent in earlier periods and not recorded in the first two volumes.

ISBN 0 949070 55 6 PB 190pp 250x175 1996 Politics & Society; Northern Australia |
It is inevitable that the prevailing ideology of a nation, whether overtly or covertly, will predetermine a mono-cultural language and literacy syllabus unless multicultural activists and ethnic minorities make their voices heard through the public media. The purpose of literacy is not just to find a job. Literacy is the vital key to an intelligent participation in self-government by multicultural democracy. |

This book details the development and significance of these and other attempts to bring an Indigenous expression and application of the gospel within Warlpiri culture and reflects upon the missiological journey of faith experienced by the missionaries themselves. |
