Why Warriors lie down and die
Audience
Why Warriors uses history, narrative and case studies to give a glimpse of life from the other side of the cultural and language divide; the side where the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land live. It also presents careful analysis to suggest new directions. It will make interesting reading for a wide range of both professional and non-professionals alike. These will include:
