This chapter 'looks at the ways in which [...] claims or identification with indigeneity by "migrants," who are by definition nonindigenous Australians, challenge the important but taken for granted division between the (multicultural) national "we" and the "Indigenous Other"' (67). The author examines the experiences of Latin American migrants and refugees in Adelaide, and draws upon literary works in Spanish by migrant writers.
'In a number of collaborative works of Indigenous life-writing, the historical and theoretical entanglements between orality and literacy ... the spheres of "talk" and "text" ... underwrite the limits and possibilities of such works as part of the broader project of contemporary cross-cultural representation. Paddy Roe's and Stephen Muecke's collaboration in Gularabula has been extremely influential in this field in Australia. Their work has shaped cross-cultural approaches to the genre since its publication in1983. This article revisits Gularabula in order to examine the relationship between talk and text in collaborative Indigenous/non-Indigenous works, and considers some critical responses to these efforts.'
