| Summary: | Research on the relationship between Aborigines and pastoralists in the Northen Territory can be divided into two traditions. A ‘Liberal-managerial’ tradition, represented by the work of Stevens and the Berndts, fails to explore Aborigines' constructs about that relationship. An alternative ‘ethnographic’ tradition has begun to correct this imbalance by using Aborigines' testimony. An interpretation of these materials suggests that Aborigines applied a model of exchange to their dealings with pastoralists and that their capacity to do so has been undermined by the gradual emergence of wage-labour relations in the industry. |
