Notes

  • 'The book of African Australian stories is the creative outcome of a series of story telling and art workshops held in the suburbs of Auburn and Bankstown in 2006 for children and young people from Liberian, Somalian, Eritrean, Sierra Leonean, Sudanese, Ethiopian and Congolese backgrounds.' [...] 'Nurturing the voices and creative expression of young African Australians was key to how the workshops were planned and how the stories evolved into book form.' (58).

Works about this Work

Archive of the Displaced Paula Abood , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , Special Issue vol. 11 no. 1 2011; (p. 1-6) 'Paula Abood's 'Archive of the Displaced' presents a related lacuna in the present institutionalised account of the nation. Abood writes of a current community cultural development program working to provide refugee women with the means to record the 'living repository' of war, displacement, racism and resistance through collective storytelling. Her account and the project itself provide a mindful response to the fleeting nature of the present and its traces in the face of official records.' (Source: Introduction : Archive Madness, p. 2)
