Description: First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. xxii, 253; text illustrated with several b/w. plates, notes, bibliography, index, bound in original stiff illustrated wrappers, fine copy. Sydney; Allen & Unwin; 1991. The book offers a radical new assessment of Australian literature from a postcolonial perspective, the authors argue the shape of Australian society and literature has been profoundly affected by the process that began when colonising society from Britain invaded Aboriginal Australia and dispossessed its people. Nearly half of the book deals with Aboriginal texts, issues and themes, in recognition that this dimension of Australian literature is usually neglected.
