This volume focuses on the ways in which Robert Tonkinson’s research has inspired further explorations of issues in the study of kinship, migration, the transformation of tradition, and other contemporary scholarship in the Pacific and Aboriginal Australia. Tonkinson’s writings on the dynamics of Indigenous agency in contexts of missionisation and governmentalisation have paved the way for continuing conceptualisation of the ‘intercultural’ in Aboriginal Australia. This book demonstrates how Tonkinson’s work has enhanced our understanding of core themes constituting anthropological research over the last century. It was originally published as a special issue of Anthropological Forum.
