It brings to life the deep time dreaming that has changed the way many Australians relate to their continent and its enduring, dynamic human history. It explores what it means to live in a place of great antiquity, with its complex questions of ownership and identity. In this original, important book, Griffiths investigates a twin revolution- the reassertion of Aboriginal identity in the second half of the twentieth century, and the simultaneous uncovering of the traces of ancient Australia by pioneering archaeologists.ĭeep Time Dreaming is about a slow shift in national consciousness.
