All Reviews - Holding Yawulyu: White Culture and Black Women's Law
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'…it stands as a valuable historical reference and as a memoir of a courageous woman.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.'

'… a moving, important study, not least of the bureaucratic and political obstacles to developing genuinely new relationships between White and Indigenous cultures.'

Reviewer: David Carter

'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.'
