Write a review. '…it stands as a valuable historical reference and as a memoir of a courageous woman. Zohl dé Ishtar was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as a member of a body of 1000 women who have committed their lives to peace. This book reflects that commitment, and offers valuable insight into the perseverance-through-struggle of the amazing Kapululangu women elders of Wirrimanu.' Robyn Hillman-Harrigan, Traffic'… a moving, important study, not least of the bureaucratic and political obstacles to developing genuinely new relationships between White and Indigenous cultures.' David Carter, Westerly'As dé Ishtar notes, the paucity of the written word can barely encompass the richness of the lived experience: 'dirt, rubbish, dogs and violence are only the tip of the iceberg in the challenges facing White attempts to dismantle our cultural biases and prejudices'. Nevertheless, her self-reflective discussion of the difficulties as well as the tanscendental joys of dwelling in another culture offer her readers, many of whom lack the fortitude for two years in a tin shed marooned from our native tongue, some memorable insights.' Chilla Bulbeck, Reviews in Australian Studies |
