Opis

The Aboriginal People of Australia has always been seen through different perspectives in various disciplines. Australian literature also encompasses a plethora of their portrayal. This book tries to comprise the portrayal of Aboriginal people in Australian literature, through three different foci --the first would depict the whites perspectives on them, the second would show how the mixed-race saw these aborigines and the last would be the portrayal of the aborigines about themselves. Enveloping these pivotal perspectives, this book would try to bring into socio-political and economic consequences of the Aboriginal people in the present Australia.
