Aboriginal Literature in Austria: A Discussion of Three Audiobooks, Oliver Haag , single work criticism

'The author discusses the overseas marketing of translated Aboriginal literature which has received scant scholarly attention. The paper examines three examples of Aboriginal literature that have been translated into German and produced as audiobooks by two Austrian publishers...this paper focuses on the translation and promotion of these audiobooks by their Austrian publishers and argues that an understanding of the representation of Aboriginal people in these audiobooks is informed by different aspects of translation and advertisement as well as the format of the medium itself' (Source: Abstract).

[Review Essay] Digging Up a Past, Jack Golson , single work review
— Review of Digging Up a Past John Mulvaney , 2011 single work autobiography ;

'Inevitably the personal past that John Mulvaney tells us about in his autobiography will be closely inspected for its relationship to the professional past that has been dominant in his life. And there is much of relevance there: his boyhood in rural Victoria in a family in which it was thought that he might become a teacher like his father; his wartime service in the RAAF for which, on his demobilisation, the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme provided him with the opportunity of tertiary education; the 50 years of his companiable marriage and collaborative relationship with Jean; and his thoughts in his eighty-fourth year on life, death and religious belief, particularly in the light of his years of archaeological and anthropological study. In what follows, however, I shall be looking at major themes in his professional past.'  (Introduction)

— Review of Friendly Mission : The Tasmanian Journals and Papers of George Augustus Robinson, 1829-1834 George Augustus Robinson , 1966 selected work diary ;

'In recent years there has been a small but significant explosion of writing about the history of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania and the impact of British invasion. All of it owes a profound debt to a single publication by the Tasmanian Historical Research Association in 1966, which after more than 50 years has now entered its second edition.' (Introduction)
