Implicitly it asks how people lived so sustainably for so long'. It offers a telling critique of the loss of Indigenous life, human and non-human, in the wake of white settler colonialism and this becoming 'cattle country'. It offers a fresh perspective on nomadics grounded in 'footwalk epistemology' and 'an ethics of return sustained across different species, events, practices and scales'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This is the final and most substantial of Debbie's love letters to the Aboriginal people of the Victoria River Downs. I say this because there is such a sense of reverence, wonder and respect throughout the book. The introduction of concepts of double-death, footwalk epistemology, wild country ... are not only organising ideas but characterisations arising from what Debbie hears, sees and feels of herself and Aboriginal others ... I think of it in terms of love, if love is care, reciprocal respect, deep connectivity and a strong desire to never make less of the people she chose to commit herself to.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Richard Davis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This book was a pleasure to read, filled with careful description of people, places, and various plants and animals, and insightful analysis of the patterns and commitments that hold them together in the world.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Thom van Dooren\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anu Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53017897402688,"sku":"9781760466275","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/8912\/3648\/files\/imageloader_e3dbf88a-c5c1-446f-851e-399ffee33a18.jpg?v=1786546805","url":"https:\/\/silverstreetbooks.com\/products\/dreaming-ecology","provider":"silverstreetbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
