Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talk, Text and Technology is an ethnography of language, learning and literacy in remote Indigenous Australia.

This innovative work examines changing social, cultural and linguistic practices across the generations and addresses the implications for language and literacy socialisation.
