AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'According to Ouyang Yu, the earliest introduction of Australian literature in the Chinese language took place in 1906, five years after the Federation of Australia. In more than a century since then, Australian literatures, transplanted and transcribed, has taken a life of its own in China, with 'Chinese characteristics', following a trajectory that manifests not only its development in Australia, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the social, economic and Cultural environs in China.'

    'Since its infancy, Westerly has a had a long interest in the literatures and cultures of the Indian Ocean, Southern and eastern Asia. Poised on the west coast, we are constantly looking out, facing away from mainland Australia. This space is not an empty one. It is rich with a history of movement and exchange, going back (as Sarah Ridhuan's essay in this issue reminds us) well beyond Australia's colonisation.' (Editorial introduction)
