Pintupi Country, Pintupi Self Sentiment, Place, and Politics Among Western Desert Aborigines

The Pintupi, a hunting-and-gathering people of Australia's Western Desert, were among the last Aborigines to come into contact with white society. Despite their extended relocation in central Australian settlements, they have managed to preserve much of their traditional culture and social organization. This book presents a comprehensive ethnographic interpretation of the ways in which Pintupi politics, cosmology, kinship systems, nomadic patterns, and social values reinforce and sometimes contradict each other.Myers, Fred R. is the author of 'Pintupi Country, Pintupi Self Sentiment, Place, and Politics Among Western Desert Aborigines', published 1991 under ISBN 9780520074118 and ISBN 0520074114.
