This is an ethnography of language, learning and literacy in remote Indigenous Australia. It traces one group from the introduction of alphabetic literacy to the arrival of digital literacies. It examines social, cultural and linguistic practices across the generations and addresses the implications for language and literacy socialisation.

Talk, Text and Technology is an ethnographic exploration of language, learning and literacy in remote Indigenous Australia. This unique work traces the historical transformation of one Indigenous group across four generations. The manner in which each generation adopts, adapts and incorporates new innovations and technologies into social practice and cultural processes is illuminated - from first mission contact and the introduction of literacy in the 1930s to youth media practices today. This book examines social, cultural and linguistic practices and addresses the implications for language and literacy socialisation.
