AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The author notes that McElroy's work is rarely considered in examinations of postcolonial travel writing, a result, he argues, of the ambivalence of postcolonial criticism towards African-American contexts. McElroy's recount of her experiences at Uluru and her potential identification with Indigenous Australians provides the article's title quoatation. As Youngs points out, however, simple identification based on skin colour is complicated by 'linguistic and cultural differences', leading to 'a more nuanced empathy.'
