Presencing : Writing in the Decolonial Space
2023
single work
criticism
— Appears in: The Cambridge Companion to the Australian Novel 2023; (p. 25-38)'First Nations Australian literature has often been the object of incomprehension and derogation by settler critics – something a deeper perspective of “presencing” can overcome. This chapter takes a decolonial perspective and highlights the self-assertion of First Nations writers against invidious characterization, such as that received by the poetic work of Oodgeroo Noonuccal in the 1960s. It demonstrates how nonIndigenous readers can approach texts by First Nations authors not as “tourists” but as “invited guests.”' (Publication abstract)
