AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This essay highlights the role of the female as fetish in the captivity narrative...it contests the notion that authorial fascinations with the colonial past are necessarily concerned with totalising ownership claims and/or revisionist historical practices. Finally, Park's ... The Companion Guide to Sydney (1973), is linked to Playing Beatie Bow's deployment of the fetish as an object through which capture of the past is always partial and unreliable.' (pp 95-96)
