About this ebook
Focusing on the local Aboriginal community and a wave of countercultural settlers in the rural town of Kuranda, this ethnographic study examines the ways political identities are produced within the framework of a bureaucratic state order. Henry (anthropology, James Cook U., Australia) details a number of conflicts this Australian community faced due to public and private spaces and how these conflicts inspired theatrical performances. Through these performances, the community resisted state projects but also contributed to the cultivation of state effects. Volume 8 in the Space & Place series, this is intended for students and professionals in the fields of social science and anthropology. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
