What Now

Cameo Dalley is Senior Lecturer in the Indigenous Studies Program at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

“What Now provides an important contribution to Australian anthropology, especially current debates around the discipline’s engagement with public policy. The author’s use of the themes ‘social intensity’ and ‘endurance’ also facilitates valuable discussions of everyday life in a remote Aboriginal community while critiquing previous ethnographic accounts of social change on Mornington Island. In its conclusion, the monograph uncovers new questions regarding the way Mornington Islanders understand their engagement with public policy and Indigenous/settler-colonial relations in Australia.” • Australian Historical Studies
