Decolonising Gubbna Ghosts through transgenerational blood memory in Anita Heiss’ Dirrayawadha
Mainstream Australia has a long history of marginalising and silencing Indigenous peoples’ experiences and voices. It was not until the emergence of Indigenous literature in the late 1960s that a new understanding of Australia’s past and its enduring exclusionary concept of whiteness began to enter broader public knowledge. The unsettling of traditional rhetoric and processes by which whites imposed and maintained their position of power is frequ…
Jeanine Leane's counter-reading of Australian historical and cultural memory locally and internationally
Rooted in nationally defined conditions and primarily addressing its immediate audience of Indigenous and white Australians, Australian Indigenous literature performs an important role in the articulation of Indigenous peoples’ protest, constituting an indictment of white Australian colonial ideology, recuperation of neglected Aboriginal history, and a call for redefining blackness. However, despite its preoccupation with local and national, this…
Hanay Geiogamah’s Body Indian and Foghorn as “Plays with a Purpose”
In her article, “Hanay Geiogamah’s Body Indian and Foghorn as ‘Plays with a Purpose,’” written against the backdrop of critical whiteness studies, Danica Čerče discusses how Geiogamah’s theatrical rhetoric intervenes in the assumptions about whiteness as a static, privilege-granting category and system of dominance. By focusing on various techniques and strategies mobilized to define and affirm Native Americans’ authentic rather than imposed iden…

Dismantling of the Dominant European Discourse in the Poetry of Jeanine Leane
Until very recently a marginalised voice in Australian literary studies, Australian Indigenous literature has obtained an important role in the articulation of Indigenous peoples’ political thought, constituting an indictment of white Australian racism, a recuperation of neglected Aboriginal history, and a call for change. Based on the premise that literature can play an important role in both maintaining and disrupting the exercise of power, and…
The Aboriginal Intervention in Colonial Discourse
Written against the background of critical whiteness studies, the article deals with the poetry of Romaine Moreton and Alf Taylor, two contemporary Aboriginal voices who are not yet widely recognised, although their work is powerful and compelling. They both use their medium to explore various aspects of indigeneity and to intervene in the public dynamics of racial separation. In their attempt to instil agency for the postcolonial Indigenous subj…
Aboriginal Australian Literature on the European Market
Introduction: Strategies of TranslationIn the late 1970s, Australia witnessed an upsurge in all fields of Indigenous creative expression. Consequently, the worldwide appeal and the number of translations of Australian Indigenous literature have also increased significantly. The most prolific market for this literature in translation has been continental Europe, with meanwhile roughly ninety books translated.1 The first translations in the 1970s w…
