Abstract:

This volume offers a state-of-the-art survey of linguistic, anthropological,
archaeological and historical work focused on Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf
Country, in Australia’s northeast. The volume also honours Bruce Rigsby,
emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Queensland, whose work
has inspired all of the contributors. The papers in the volume are organized
in terms of five key themes, including the use of historical and
archaeological methods to reconstruct aspects of language and social
organization, anthropological and linguistic work uncovering aspects of world
view embedded in languages and ethnographic data sets, the study of
post-contact transformations in language and society, and the return of
archival data to communities. Its thematic intersections draw together the
varied disciplinary threads in an overview of the cultures and languages of
the region, and will appeal to all those interested in Australian Aboriginal
studies, linguistics, anthropology and associated disciplines.
