Return to Eden

In the second edition of Return to Eden, David H. Turner updates the current situation of the Aboriginal people of Amagalyuagba in northern Australia from 1988. He adds a new chapter on the politics of doing fieldwork in the Northern Territory in the pre-land rights era of Australian history. This study recounts the Aborigines own theoretical interpretation of their society and history and brings that interpretation to life in a journey with them through the sacred Landscape of Bickerton Island, Groote Eylandt, and the adjacent mainland. Through Turner's first visit to the people of this area in 1969, the book documents the current plight of these Aboriginal people under the threat of missionization, mining, and government interference and suggests possible ways out of their dilemma.
