Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a compendium of 'Musical Dispatches from the Front'. These dispatches cover a wide range of subjects and riff on the irreconcilable contradictions between the Warlpiri world view and the government agencies that attempt to manage its manifestations. Just as in the 2023 referendum, a majority of Australian voters were persuaded that to give Aborigines the opportunity to have a say in matters that affected them was a bad idea, so too in 2007 Australian society was convinced 'something had to be done' about alleged dysfunction and depravity in Northern Territory Aboriginal communities. In both instances these beliefs and preconceptions were exacerbated by politically motivated campaigns of lies and propaganda.In 2007 the Australian Federal Government set in motion the Northern Territory Emergency Response, the so-called Intervention. Starting with a military incursion into Mutitjulu, the Aboriginal community at the base of Uluru (Ayers Rock), the Intervention was quickly rolled out to 73 'Prescribed' communities. No Alcohol No Pornography signs festooned the countryside, army tents sprung up to carry out compulsory medical checks on Aboriginal children and NT Aborigines were subjected to 500 pages of stigmatizing legislation. The Intervention was the latest manifestation of the colonial imperative to conquer Aboriginal Australia. Yuendumu is at the front-line of this invasion. My refusal to remain silent in view of this police backed cultural ethnocidal onslaught prompted me to launch the Musical Dispatches from the Front into cyberspace.The dispatches chronicle the often farcical and mean-spirited bureaucratic barrage of the Intervention and its aftermath.Assimilation is ongoing, and so are the Musical Dispatches.Frank Baarda, Yuendumu, 2025.…
