1 y separately published work icon Climate Change Narratives in Australian Fiction Deborah Jordan , Saarbrucken : Lambert Academic Publishing , 2014 8179573 2014 selected work criticism

'Several major Australian novels about climate change imagine a warmed planet. This is a timely survey of these cautionary tales. There is also a long tradition of Australians, settlers and Indigenous people, writing about the land and the sea, and about how our climate shapes our communities and our future, and about how colonisation and industrialisation too often destroys our environment. This outline begins to locate, question and frame the insights of many past and present Australian authors about changing climatic conditions.' (Publication summary)
1 y separately published work icon The White Man's Dilemma in John Maxwell Coetzee's Fiction Neuvic Kalmar Malembanie , Saarbrucken : Lambert Academic Publishing , 2014 8159204 2014 single work criticism

'Independence movement in Africa was followed by the collapse of the colonizer's political power that controlled all the resources, the economy and politics in Africa, a situation which forced a new African elite to seize back the control of their countries by chasing white folks from power. But, this change of regime provoked many tensions between the departing white leaders who attempted to remain in power while they faced new African leaders determined to bring change in their countries dominated long ago by white supremacy. Thus, this clash brought about many situations of dilemma among white men living within African communities as well as the Africans themselves. However, the main focus in this work is just an attempt to scrutinize some of these situations of dilemma white men have been facing in South Africa, as Coetzee would depict them in his novels Waiting for the Barbarians and Disgrace.'

1 y separately published work icon Gentlewomen in the Bush : A Historical Interpretation of British Women's Personal Narratives in Nineteenth-Century Rural Australia Ildikó Dömötör , Saarbrucken : Lambert Academic Publishing , 2012 Z1873117 2012 single work criticism 'This book discusses female British settlers’ lives in colonial Australia. In particular, it examines the changes Victorian gentlewomen had to undergo to survive in rural areas. Many colonial women informed their home audience of the peculiarities of their new lives in their letters, diaries, memoirs and travel books. Women’s texts differ considerably from men’s accounts because their emphasis is on the depiction of private life, family relationships and domestic concerns. In addition, these ladies also sought to depict the Australian colonies in terms of their botanical and ethnographical diversity as well as their history and social development. Even though colonial gentlewomen’s social position and educational background did not allow them to make significant contributions to contemporary science, some of them made noteworthy achievements. British gentlewomen’s life-writings draw attention to the challenges women had to face and overcome in the new environment of colonial Australia.' Source: www.bod.com/ (Sighted 11/0/12
1 y separately published work icon Empowering and Disempowering Indigenes : Staging Australian Aboriginal Experience Khairul Chowdhury , Saarbrucken : Lambert Academic Publishing , 2010 Z1838214 2010 multi chapter work criticism

'This study offers an exploration of the drama informing the Indigenous experiences, which contains Aboriginal people's effort to attain a visible reality based on cultural and political rights. It is also a deeper understanding of the empowering and disempowering Indigenes in the discursive domain as well as in the existential reality.

'Though the study considers a large number of playtexts written by the Indigenous playwrights from 1970s to the present, it explores playtexts written by non- Indigenous playwrights as well. Here, the chief concern is to explore the discursive features of the texts, the items both linguistic and dramatic that tend to place or exclude Aboriginal people from discourses.

'The Aboriginal theatre movement started in the 1970s serves as the complete reconceptualisation of Aboriginality in terms of centering Aboriginal Identity and culture in the dominant discursive domain. Such an intervention may involve the recovery of Aboriginal history from the dominant history of Australia and infusing positive attributes to Indigenes' identity.' (Back cover.)
