Holding Men: Kanyirninpa and the Health of Aboriginal Men Paperback - 2009 - 1st Edition

by Brian McCoy


From the publisher

This is an easily readable book that explores how Indigenous men understand their lives, their health and their culture. Using conversations, stories and art, the author shows how Kimberley desert communities have a cultural value and relationship described as kanyirninpa or holding. The author uses examples from Australian Rules football, petrol sniffing and imprisonment to reveal the possibilities for lasting improvements to mens health based on kanyirninpas expression of deep and enduring cultural values and relationships.
