Peramangk: A Social History is a groundbreaking exploration of the Peramangk people, the original inhabitants of the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. Drawing from historical records, linguistic analysis, and Indigenous oral traditions, this meticulously researched book reveals the depth and complexity of Peramangk culture, from their language and Dreaming stories to their unique customs and ceremonies. For decades, debate has surrounded the Peramangk’s history, particularly regarding their presence and influence on the landscape. This book dismantles misconceptions, presenting compelling evidence of their cultural resilience and adaptability. It delves into the effects of European colonisation, including disease, land dispossession, and the struggles for recognition, while also celebrating the recent resurgence of Peramangk identity and heritage. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and historical documents, Peramangk: A Social History is an essential resource for historians, researchers, and anyone passionate about Indigenous Australian cultures. Whether you are a scholar or a curious reader, this book offers a compelling narrative that honours the past while looking toward the future of the Peramangk people. Clippership Press®
