1 Politics of Magic Narratives of Aboriginal Indigenous Literature Abhinaba Chatterjee , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Narratives of Estrangement and Belonging : Indo-Australian Perspectives 2016; (p. 180-200)

'Indigenous literature of Australia initially descended from the folklore, which was transmitted in the form of storytelling. This storytelling tradition is significant in the lives of Aboriginal people. Hence, it was considered essential by the elders of the Aboriginal communities to pass on this knowledge to their next generation. Because of various reasons a lot of stories were forgotten. There's been a need for restoring the lost tradition and indigenous people took the initiation towards raising awareness concerning the preservation of their cultural heritage.' (180)
