Blood, Bones and Spirit: Aboriginal Christianity in an East Kimberley Town
- Shop more books in the same category: All Books, Humanities & Social Science
In this fascinating and beautifully written book, Heather McDonald examines Aboriginal people's experiences of colonialism and post-colonialism in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Blood, Bones and Spirit analyses how Aboriginal people have appropriated Biblical stories of land inheritance, expansion and loss in order to make sense of their own dispossession. It investigates the embodiment of Christianity by Aboriginal people through their appropriation of Christ's body - his blood, bones and spirit - in order to replenish and heal their own colonised bodies.
Indeed, this local study of Christianisation in a small East Kimberley town presents a challenge to the very history and philosophy of Western religion.
