It adds to existing documentation of Aboriginal culture in Antikirrinya-Yankunytjarra and in Aboriginal English, by privileging the storytelling of Antikirrinya elder Ingkama Bobby Brown. In drawings and verbal accounts, he outlines core aspects of an Antikirrinya ethos, a culturally specific way of looking at plants, animals, people and how they influence each other.(see also http://www.kpress.com.au) If you would like to become a reviewer for this book, please email me at [log in to unmask] Best wishes, Meng Huat
