Pintupi country, Pintupi self : sentiment, place, and politics among Western Desert Aborigines

by Fred R. Myers

This ethnography of the Pintupi people of the Western Desert examines the tension between individual autonomy and social relatedness. It analyses how these concepts shape identity, politics, and spatial organisation within the cultural framework of The Dreaming.
