1 History and Other (Colonial) Fantasies: Indigenous Time Play in Cleverman Sara Spurgeon , 2023 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Palgrave Handbook of Global Fantasy 2023; (p. 139-156)

'This chapter discusses the issue of aboriginal fantasy. It theorizes that the basic perceptions of time and space are culturally inflected and, thus, the very notion of fantasy is inextricably embedded in the consensus reality of its time and place. By showing how aboriginal reality may appear as fantastic when filtered through the prism of Western narrative conventions, the chapter is a fitting introduction to the wealth of fantasy’s cultural diversity we spotlight in the second Part of the Reader.' (Publication abstract)
