Congratulations to Shannyn Palmer, winner of the Chief Minister’s Northern Territory History Book Award 2023, for her book Unmaking Angas Downs: Myth and History on a Central Australian Pastoral Station (MUP, 2022). The judges described the book as an “absorbing exploration of the dual history of Angas Downs, providing a brilliant analysis of the duality of Aboriginal history-making in terms of place, and non-Aboriginal in terms of time”. Congratulations Shannyn!
