Congratulations to Shannyn Palmer for publishing ‘Unmaking Angas Downs: Myth and History on a Central Australian Pastoral Station’

Congratulations to Shannyn Palmer on the publication of Unmaking Angas Downs: Myth and History on a Central Australian Pastoral Station (MUP, 2022). It is a ‘new work of history that seeks to unmake mythologies of pioneers, pastoralism and possession in the Northern Territory…Listening to Tjuki Tjukanku Pumpjack and Sandra Armstrong, two Aṉangu with deep and abiding connections to Angas Downs station, a very different kind of place emerges from that conjured in myths and histories of pioneers and pastoralists that have shaped understandings of the past in Australia, particularly in the Northern Territory.’
