Engaging Indigenous economy: A selected annotated bibliography of Jon Altman's writings 1979-2014

Abstract

This annotated bibliography has been published in conjunction with the conference 'Engaging Indigenous economy: debating diverse approaches', to be convened at the Australian National University on 4-5 September 2014. The publication and conference coincide with Jon Altman's retirement from the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR), where he was foundation director from 1990 to 2010. The bibliography aims to summarise many of the themes to which Altman has dedicated his career to date, and is designed to be a navigational tool for paper presenters, conference delegates and others wishing to engage with Altman's work. Given the breadth of Altman's research over a long career, it has not been possible to include all of his published work; however, the bibliography covers a large proportion of his written contribution.

The works have been classified according to the conference themes, which are: comparative modern hunter-gatherer studies; economic hybridity and alternate development; Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP); the Indigenous visual arts industry; sustainable land-based Indigenous livelihoods; employment and labour market; land rights and native title; and neo-liberalism or the return of the guardian State?
