Surprisingly little research has been carried out about how Australian Aboriginal children and teenagers experience life, shape their social world and imagine the future. This volume presents recent and original studies of life experiences outside the institutional settings of childcare and education, of those growing up in contemporary Central Australia or with strong links to the region. Focusing on the remote communities – roughly 1,200 across the continent – the volume includes case studies of language and family life in small country towns and urban contexts. These studies expertly show that forms of consciousness have changed enormously over the last hundred years for Indigenous societies more so than for the rest of Australia, yet equally notable are the continuities across generations.

"The book surveys Aboriginal life and behavior broadly and, for many of the most interesting aspects of the culture, reports in thorough detail (both authors became fully initiated members of the Arunta tribe). Customs relating to marriage, childbirth, vengeance, burial and mourning, the hunt, etc.; ritual actions- the knocking out of teeth, head-biting, mutilation; and beliefs about eclipses, medicine, ancestors, the creation of the world, pregnancy, etc. are described. Remarkable photographs-over 130-show portraits of tribesmen and women, costumed participants in rituals, chipped stone arrowheads, boomerangs and other weapons, sacred wooden and stone objects, and Aboriginal drawings and decorations. Explaining the social organization of the tribes is one of the authors' chief interests. The unusually compex kinship system, found only among Australian Aboriginals, is explored exhaustively. Another large section of the book describes in detail the weeks-long Engwura ceremony of circumcision and subincision."-- Back cover.

The Arrernte people of Central Australia first encountered Europeans in the 1860s as groups of explorers, pastoralists, missionaries, and laborers invaded their land. During that time the Arrernte were the subject of intense curiosity, and the earliest accounts of their lives, beliefs, and traditions were a seminal influence on European notions of the primitive. The first study to address the Arrernte’s contemporary situation, Arrernte Present, Arrernte Past also documents the immense sociocultural changes they have experienced over the past hundred years. Employing ethnographic and archival research, Diane Austin-Broos traces the history of the Arrernte as they have transitioned from a society of hunter-gatherers to members of the Hermannsburg Mission community to their present, marginalized position in the modern Australian economy. While she concludes that these wrenching structural shifts led to the violence that now marks Arrernte communities, she also brings to light the powerful acts of imagination that have sustained a continuing sense of Arrernte identity.

Central Australia has been the last frontier of Australia, and politically the forgotten country. This is the story of European settlement and its culture clash with the original people; and of visionary explorers, driven telegraph men and miners, the cattlemen and the dreamers who felt the lure this stark, unforgiving, beautiful heart of Australia
