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. 2022-10-14T14:54:45Z 2022-10-14T14:54:45Z 2020 book ONIX_20221014_9781501362941_169 9781501362941 9781501362958 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58838 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781501362958.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781501362941 9781501362958 Bloomsbury Academic 256 New York open access
