Product details
Representing Australian Aboriginal Music and Dance
1930-1970 offers a rethinking of recent Australian music
history. Amanda Harris presents accounts of Aboriginal music and
dance by Aboriginal performers on public stages. Harris also
historicizes the practices of non-Indigenous art music composers
evoking Aboriginal music in their works, placing this in the
context of emerging cultural institutions and policy frameworks.
Centralizing auditory worlds and audio-visual evidence, Harris
shows the direct relationship between the limits on Aboriginal
people's mobility and non-Indigenous representations of
Aboriginal culture.
This book seeks to listen to Aboriginal accounts of disruption
and continuation of Aboriginal cultural practices and features
contributions from Aboriginal scholars Shannon Foster, Tiriki
Onus and Nardi Simpson as personal interpretations of their
family and community histories. Contextualizing recent music and
dance practices in broader histories of policy, settler colonial
structures, and postcolonizing efforts, the book offers a new
lens on the development of Australian musical cultures.
