Book launch: Pictures from My Memory by Lizzie Ellis

Book Launch presented by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language Pictures from My Memory: My Story as a Ngaatjatjarra Woman by Lizzie Marrkilyi Ellis 'Pictures from my memory' is a compelling and accessible autobiographical account of Lizzie Marrkilyi Ellis’s life as a Ngaatjatjarra woman from the Australian Western Desert. Born in the bush at the time of first contact between her family and White Australians, Ellis’s vivid personal reflections offer both an historical record and profound emotional insight into her unique experience of being woven between cultures — her Aboriginal community and the Western worlds. The book is preceded by an introduction and followed by an anthropological overview of Ngaatjatjarra culture by anthropologist Laurent Dousset. The book will be launched by Dr Inge Kral, Research in Linguistic Anthropology, ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language.
