Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Jim Mackens latest book is a sequel to Between a Death and a Difficult Birth. Both analyse the effects of the cultural shifts of the late 1960s on the labour movement. What is to be Done takes the debate a step further by suggesting solutions to the decline in membership and support for the trade union movement and the ALP.\nThe Faulkner Report of 2010 on the decline in the political fortunes of the ALP calls for root and branch reform of the party. Mackens book looks at possible solutions to the decline in union membership as well. He suggests a return to first principles to govern recruitment and retention of members to both the party and the union movement. He is particularly scathing at the top down government of both institutions.\nHis solutions will not please factional leaders of the unions or the party and, in this regard, he supports the condemnation of factionalism in the Faulkner Report. There is no doubt that this short book will promote heated debate in the ranks of the labour movement but few will be found to disagree with his historic study of developments nor the logic of his case for dramatic change in the structures of the union movement and the ALP.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This remarkable book takes a fresh look at life as a process, not an end, encouraging readers to look for the meaning of life not in terms of achievement or others' opinions, but in the everyday joys of living. \nFrom the Preface .\nIt is easy to become attached to goals. Goals promise certainty, and the anxiety they induce only makes their achievement seem more meritorious. The trouble is that goals, even worthy ones, remove our sense of proportion and our sensitivity to what is happening around us. \nIt sometimes takes a fall to bring us back into the present. 'Where have I been? What have I been doing all my life?' We awaken to the world as if for the first time. \nWe have written this book out of an increasing sense of the importance of these moments. Once you recognise life as a gift rather than an achievement, you realise that 'meaning in life' is found only in the vitality of the social relations in which we participate.\n This remarkable book takes a fresh look at life as a process, not an end, encouraging readers to look for the meaning of life not in terms of achievement or others' opinions, but in the everyday joys of living.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Black Grapevine tells the extraordinary story of Indigenous efforts to stop children becoming part of the 'stolen generations' and to end the government policies and practices which destroyed their families.\n\nLinda Briskman uses the story of the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Island Child Care (SNAICC) to centre her book. Indigenous people involved tell how they came together to form a national organisation for child care, how they found similar experiences from one end of Australia to the other, how they pooled experience and emotion to provide support for one another, how they lobbied for a national inquiry.\n\nAnd they campaigned. Indigenous activists fought with astonishing resilience for recognition of past and present practices, for the right to have Indigenous viewpoints to the forefront, and for resources.\n\nBriskman's story goes beyond the contest with the state to give a convincing portrait of the ways in which Indigenous groups worked. There are connections with international action, educational and fund-raising projects, and the much-vaunted annual Aboriginal and Islander Children's Day.\n\nShe concludes by reflecting on the successes of campaigns and actions to date, and the extent of 'unfinished business'. Her strong academic background combines with the oral testimony of the activists to produce a fast-moving book that is both entertaining and rigorous. An account, primarily through oral history, of the activism of indigenous people involved in the struggle to keep their children with their own families and communities. The story is told through the people involved in the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Island Child Care (SNAICC) which has a pivotal role in this quest.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why do Aboriginal women in Australia experience such high levels of violence in their own communities? In this considered and carefully researched book, Joan Kimm discusses the extent and nature of the violence, its underlying causes, current policies that deal with it, and changes that might improve these policies. \nHer work covers: \n\nthe devastating legacy of European colonialism on Indigenous culture, \nmodern anthropological evidence about patriarchy and violence in traditional Aboriginal societies, \nbeliefs held by Aboriginals, particularly men, about their cultural heritage, \nthe impact of cultural heritage upon modern Indigenous society, and \nchanging judicial attitudes to sentencing Aboriginal men for violence to Aboriginal women, shifting from emphasis on the mens cultural background to emphasis on the womens rights as victims. \nKimm shows how this multi-faceted environment, particularly the interaction of two patriarchal laws, has had, and continues to have, very real destructive effects on Aboriginal women. \nKimm argues powerfully that Aboriginal women, like all women, like all humans, have the universal right to lives free of violence. She contends that current law, policy and practice place too much emphasis on their rights as Indigenous people and too little on their rights as women. A shift in emphasis will be an important first step to safer lives.\n Why do Aboriginal women in Australia experience such high levels of violence in their own communities?

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's greatest story and they have gathered together some of our countrys finest historians to prosecute the case. Collectively, they compile a strong argument. In the late 19th century that acute American observer, Mark Twain, called the Ballarat rebellion the finest thing in Australasian history and, like all such milestone moments in any countrys expanding tale, Eureka challenges because of the sheer number of interpretations that have been imposed upon it, both before Twain and after. During the sesquicentenary year of Eureka, 2004, one journalist rightly observed that Eureka is not so much history as many versions of history. The question of who owns the Eureka story is destined never to be answered, but one thing is certain: the superb Charter of Bakery Hill, an irresistible sequence of goldfield events leading to tragedy, a cast of characters drawn straight from a classic novel, violence and murder on an early Sabbath morning in December 1854, and a never-ending aftermath that arguably has had more energy within it in the 20th and 21st centuries than it had in the 19th these extraordinary elements of a grand narrative will forever stimulate the Australian imagination. Eureka: Australias Greatest Story is certain to stoke the fires. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's 'greatest story', and they have gathered together some of our country's finest historians to prosecute the case.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. After decades of rape law reform, it is still being argued that the criminal justice system fails rape victims, that too few cases are prosecuted and too few prosecutions result in conviction. \nCompelling Engagements is a ground-breaking work which investigates the narratives of rape law and of romance fiction, and explores the outmoded and strikingly similar depictions of their normative female subjects. These are women who are not only vulnerable but also evidently worthy of the protections or rewards promised: punishment of the rapist or the heros love. \nLarcombes analysis explores: \nthe definitions of rape in the criminal law and romance in Harlequin Mills and Boon fiction; \nthe feminine subjects represented in the texts of rape law and romance fiction; \nthe feminised subject positions the texts produce: the rape complainant and the romance reader; \nparticular fictionalisations of the rape complainant and the romance reader: the false rape complainant and the ideal romance consumer; and \nhow these fictionalisations serve the interests of the criminal justice system and the romance publishing industry. \n\nLarcombe shows how the legal construction of gender and subjectivity in rape law is still working to disempower victims. She suggests feminisms failure to accommodate womens investment in heroines of romance fiction has limited their effectiveness in transforming rape law. \nCompelling Engagements is an original and engaging analysis, and fascinating reading for anyone who deals with rape as part of the criminal justice system. Investigates the narratives of rape law and of romance fiction, and explores the outmoded and strikingly similar depictions of their normative female subjects.

So eventually instead of access to a bathroom, they got me access to a Toyota so that I could drive away to a toilet. So the entire crew knew exactly when I was cycling every single month. And they used to piss in the connecting pipes for me to discover when I got back from the drive. And looking back on it now I also realise that the blokes were also pissing on my boots when I was gone I see now but at the time I was just so confused and baffled by it all. Female miner, aged 21\n\nAustralian women are enduring a cultural epidemic of workplace sexual harassment in remote and rural workplaces the experience is rife, rampant and as hard to contain as any infectious disease. Whispers from the Bush The Workplace Sexual Harassment of Australian Rural Women is the first book to focus upon the nature, pervasiveness and reporting of sexual harassment in rural Australian workplaces. Drawing upon 107 interviews conducted with rurally located employees and employers about their experiences and observations of sexual harassment at work, it shines a light upon a phenomenon largely hidden or minimised by silence, distance and an atmosphere of saturated masculinity. The book seeks to give voice to the whispers from the bush by exploring themes such as:\n\nthe impact of male dominance and mateship on the nature and prevalence of sexual harassment within the rural workplace;\nthe complex survival behaviours adopted by many rural women in response to sexual harassment as it occurs most surprisingly, extending to women blaming women;\nrural employee and employer attitudes towards the disclosure of sexual harassment; and\nthe limited reach and effectiveness of laws against sexual harassment in rural Australia.\n\nThe book concludes by making practical recommendations for the commencement of national dialogue about sexual harassment in rural Australia, towards a cultural adoption of zero-tolerance.\n\nDr Skye Saunders in the news.\n\nThe blokes were pissing on my boots: MTR launches new book exposing workplace harassment of rural women, Melinda Tankard Reist blog, 20 March 2016 Read full article.\nWomen feel like intruders new book reveals extent of sexual harassment in the rural workplace, ANU College of Law News, 10 March 2016 Read full article.\nFiona Nashs Im a girl suggests you cant be taken seriously, The Australian, 18 February 2016 Read full article.\nANU study finds most women working in remote areas subject to sexual harassment, ABC Rural, 8 May 2015 Read full article/Listen to Interview.\nResearch reveals culture of sexual harassment in rural workplaces , Central Western Daily, 27 April 2015 Read full article.\nRural Australia's sexual harassment 'epidemic', ABC Radio National, Bush Telegraph, 5 November 2013 Read full article/Listen to Interview.\n This is the first book to focus upon the nature, pervasiveness and reporting of sexual harassment in rural Australian workplaces.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Homophobia is a prejudice with effects that extend far beyond the gay and lesbian community. While its physical, emotional and social effects have been charted to some extent, the development of homophobia in Australia has yet to be fully explored. \nHomophobia: An Australian History is the first book to consider homophobia in a distinctively Australian context. In this collection, thirteen well-known scholars examine the embedded homophobic attitudes that Australian gay and lesbian activists have fought to change. The book traces the evolution of homophobia, from its expression in Australias past as a colonial settler society, through to manifestations in present day society. \nThe compilation of this text is timely, given the 2007 release of the Same Sex: Same Entitlements report of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. The release of this report, which focused on institutionalised and legal homophobia, has raised public awareness of these issues and sparked broader debates about homosexual rights. The thirtieth anniversary of Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras earlier this year also offers an ideal opportunity to reflect on the past gains and future goals of the gay and lesbian rights movement. \nThe collected chapters in this book argue that homophobia developed in conjunction with the growth of a modern homosexual identity in the second half of the nineteenth century. To various extents, the legal and medical professions and other social institutions have perpetuated homophobic attitudes. Homophobia: An Australian History raises awareness of the devastating impact these attitudes can have on individuals and on society.\nAddendum: \nAt the commencement of Page IX, Dr Ruth Fords name and academic position was omitted. Dr Fords biographical entry under Notes on Contributors should read: \nDr Ruth Ford is a lecturer in Australian history at La Trobe University.

Cover artwork : The Way of the Walawalarra (Two Women Ancestors): Kapululangu Women's Two Way Governance Courtesy and Copyright : Artists of Kapululangu Aboriginal Womens Association of Balgo.\nDebates in contemporary Indigenous affairs rarely question the settler-state framework and its accompanying institutions and processes. This silence persists despite Indigenous efforts to engage the settler-colonial order through repeated calls for treaties, for constitutional change, for self-determination and for better representation on the national political stage. These Indigenous efforts to enter into dialogue with mainstream Australia have thus far received little or no reciprocal movement from the settler state and its associated institutions.\nTo advance Indigenous affairs governance and develop a dialogue for improved Settler-Indigenous relations in the 21st century requires unsettling the silences around the settler-state and its institutions and processes. Instead, we need dialogue and exchange between Indigenous and Settler orders. Only by embracing the challenges of governance in an open an unapologetic way will we be able to address the anxieties associated with Indigenous governance and contribute to healing the persistent sore of the wider Indigenous-Settler relations that continue to trouble the Australian community.\nTo address these challenges, Unsettling the Setter State documents and analyses contemporary Indigenous efforts to engage with the settler state and its institutions. Chapters by Indigenous authors and settler interpreters and counterparts highlight Aboriginal creativity, vibrancy, and resistance while providing a crucial resource and pathways for rethinking governance and decolonising Australia in the 21st century. Advancing Indigenous affairs governance and developing improved Settler-Indigenous relations requires dialogue and exchange between Indigenous and Settler ways of organising social and political relationships. Unsettling the Setter State opens vibrant and promising pathways for rethinking governance and decolonising Australia in the 21st century.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book tells the story of fifteen women who survived a sexual assault, all of them attacked by the same serial rapist. It tells the story of their survival, and is based on extensive interviews with the fifteen women.\nThe interviews illustrate how each stage of the process following the attack became an exercise in survival surviving the assault, managing police interviewing, surviving and coping with going to court, surviving all the many impacts on their lives, and also managing how those close to them were affected.\nThe picture that emerges demonstrates that surviving rape is not a one-off event but a continual process. The different procedures and aspects each pose their own challenges as the victims/survivors manage the various and on-going intrusions and encounters that follow in the aftermath of rape.\nThis book presents their stories the losses and the triumphs, the battles and the victories.
