The Dreaming and Other Essays

by W. E. H. Stanner

A collection of essays by the Australian anthropologist W. E. H. Stanner, including his famous 1953 piece 'The Dreaming' and his 1968 Boyer Lectures on the 'great Australian silence' about Aboriginal history. Stanner wrote with deep respect for Aboriginal religious thought and for the injustice of dispossession. The volume gathers some of the most influential writing on Aboriginal Australia.
