Abstract | [Abstract]: This paper responds to one aspect of Abdurrahman Umar’s review (1999) of Beyond the ferris wheel (Danaher, 1998), the criticism that the book paid insufficient attention to the ‘marginalisation’ of Queensland show people. The author argues that the term can too readily be associated with ‘essential’, ‘positivist’ and politicised accounts of the lives of itinerant people. The author’s response to the question of ‘naming’ itinerant people raised by this issue is to engage in continuous interrogation of the naming strategies used by researchers, and to argue for self-reflexiveness as a prerequisite of theorising nomadic and Traveller education. |
