The Rhetoric of Benevolence as an Impediment to the Protection of Indigenous Cultural Rights : A Study of Australian Literature and Law N. E. Wright , Brooke Collins-Gearing , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , no. 85 2005; (p. 57-68, notes 205-207)
y separately published work icon Imagining Indigenality in Romance and Fantasy Fiction for Children Brooke Collins-Gearing , St Lucia : AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource , 2009 Z1132017 2003 single work criticism This essay explores how non-Indigenous authors of children's romance and fantasy narratives have positioned themselves as authorities on Indigenous peoples and the Dreaming, often authorising their own concepts of the Dreaming and of Indigenous history to inform and 'indigenise' non-Indigenous child readers.' Collins-Gearing, 2003, p. 32
y separately published work icon Fading to Black : Aboriginal Children in Colonial Texts Clare Bradford , St Lucia : AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource , 2009 Z978090 1999 single work criticism Bradford identifies the discursive and narrative strategies involved in the representations of Aboriginal children in nineteenth century children's texts and argues that, 'white child readers are interpellated by colonial texts' to view the mixing or hybridization of identities as an 'ambiguous and threatening possibility (14). Bradford critiques the inherently 'ideological work' that permeates white representations of Aboriginality and in particular, the representation of Aboriginal children as 'hybrid grotesques' which threaten 'racial purity' (15) and who 'wilfuly reject the advantages of civilisation' (20). For Bradford, the Aboriginal children in these colonial texts carry a 'range of significances', all of which 'offer the white child readers absolution from colonial guilt by naturalizing the deaths of individual Aboriginal children and Aborigines collectively' (29). She concludes that it is the obsessive and visible linking of death and Aboriginality that discloses racial anxieties about the legitamacy of Australian nationhood (29).
