| Unit Description |
A study of modern Australian literature with special reference to writings by Indigenous authors. This unit focuses on both White and Black Australian literatures as translations of the physical frontier and as investments in the modern politics of identity. It traces the clash and conflict of Indigenous and settler cultures through to the contemporary process of reconciliation, by way of novels, plays, poems, short stories, autobiographies, journals and diaries - as well as theoretical writings on race and minority discourse in Australia. |
