Chapters explore the unique way Indigenous artists have evolved a method of expressing their spiritual relationship to Country, while hiding from uninitiated eyes the secret-sacred meaning beneath the paint. It takes us on a journey through the politics of Land Rights for First Nations peoples, the Uluru Statement from the Heart, and an analysis of Indigenous ecological principles which may suggest a new and radical approach to navigating climate change in the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Australian Desert \u003c\/em\u003eis written for scholars of fine arts, anthropology, literature, film studies, cultural history, Indigenous studies, ecology and tourism, and for anyone interested in deserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roslynn Haynes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032835052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032835051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.71d","brand":"Roslynn Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47758424113407,"sku":"9781032835051","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2f29312-03bd-4c39-9ad5-d68e4cd0bc2a.jpg?v=1765511346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-australian-desert-roslynn-haynes-9781032835051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
