Lot 010: H180 Introduction to Aboriginal Studies by Mudrooroo Nyoongah, University Course

Description

H180 Course Material for the University of Western Australia, Second Semester 1993, School of Humanities, Course coordinator: Mudrooroo. Colin Thomas Johnson (21 August 1938 – 20 January 2019), better known by his nom de plume Mudrooroo, was a novelist, poet, essayist and playwright. He has been described as one of the most enigmatic literary figures of Australia and his many works are centred on Australian Aboriginal characters and Aboriginal topics. Also known as Mudrooroo Narogin and Mudrooroo Nyoongah. Narogin after the Indigenous spelling for his place of birth, and Nyoongah after the name of the people from whom he claimed descent. Mudrooroo means paperbark in the Bibbulmun language group spoken by the Noongar. There is much controversy sorrounding the his Aboriginality with the request to the Nyoongah community to substantiate his claimed kinship to the Kickett family not acknowledged in 1996. This is a scarce copy.
