Representing Aboriginal Childhood

The Politics of Memory and Forgetting in Australia

• Broschiertes Buch

Engaging with representations in literature, film, governmental discourse, and news and infotainment media, this book investigates the ways in which Aboriginal children figure in Australia's cultural life, to mediate Australians' ambivalence about the colonial origins of the nation, as well as its possible post-colonial future.
