Title:	Culture of chaos : Indigenous women and vulnerability in an Australian rural reserve
Authors:	Hammill, Jan
Keywords:	Cross-cultural;Indigenous issues;Drug and alcohol misuse;Sexual assault;Community development
Year:	1999
Publisher:	University of Queensland, [St. Lucia
Notes:	Hamill’s PhD thesis uses both biographical and ethnographic methods to document the story of the Indigenous women and men of the Cherbourg, Queensland community, in both an historical and present-day context. Hamill worked under the auspices of the Jundah Aboriginal Corporation which operates a safety house and advocacy service for the women and children of the community. By contributing to a variety of community development initiatives, she was able, in exchange, to record formally and informally the narratives of many of the women residents of Cherbourg. She examines the incidence of domestic violence, child sexual assault, and drug and alcohol abuse, and explores the root causes of negative behaviours in the Indigenous male population. Concludes with a discussion of Jundah’s current projects, many of which are new initiatives enabled by Hammill’s collaboration with Jundah.
