Feminism Reclaimed

Radically Speaking

In Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin, Diane Bell invites her readers into the complex and contested world of the cultural beliefs and practices of the Ngarrindjeri of South Australia; teases out the meanings and misreadings of the written sources; traces changes and continuities in oral accounts; challenges assumptions about what Ngarrindjeri women know, how they know it, and how outsiders may know what is to be known. Wurruwarrin: knowing and believing. In 1995, a South Australian Royal Commission found Ngarrindjeri women to have "fabricated" their beliefs to stop the building of a bridge from Goolwa to Hindmarsh Island. By 2001, in federal court, the women were vindicated as truth-tellers. In 2009, the site was registered, but scars remain of that shameful moment. In the Preface to the New Edition, Diane Bell looks to the world that "will be", where talented, committed Ngarrindjeri leaders are building the infrastructure for future generations of the Ngarrindjeri nation and challenging the very foundation of the State of South Australia. The Apology to the Stolen Generations in 2008 and its evocation of an inclusive "us" has propelled the Ngarrindjeri on the path to "practical reconciliation". But progress has been uneven. Petty politics, procrastinations and prevarications stand in the way of its realisation. Diane Bell writes as an insider who is clear about the bases of her engagement with her Ngarrindjeri friends and colleagues. The story will continue to unfold and Diane Bell will be there. There is unfinished business.

Virtually all anthropologists undertaking fieldwork experience emotional difficulties in relating their own personal culture to the field culture. The issue of gender arises because ethnographers do fieldwork by establishing relationships, and this is done as a person of a particular age, sexual orientation, belief, educational background, ethnic identity and class. In particular it is done as men and women. Gendered Fields examines and explores the progress of feminist anthropology, the gendered nature of fieldwork itself, and the articulation of gender with other aspects of the self of the ethnographer.

Women, Men, and Ethnography

Newly appointed professor Dee P. Scrutari turns her anthropological gaze on the tribe of males who dominate St. Jude’s, a prestigious Jesuit liberal arts college in the northeast United States. When she can’t get a straight answer to her question of what happened to the previous occupant of her freshly painted office, she teams up with a band of colleagues marginalized by the college—a liberation theology nun, a gay priest, and a Jew—to find out what evil lurks in the department of religious studies. A feminist spoof at once funny, sobering, provocative, and full of affection for the academic world, this book is as brave and unflinching as Dee P. Scrutari herself.
