About The Book:Aboriginal Literature: Counter-Historical Narratives Of Australia Examines The Uniqueness Of Aboriginal Culture And The Need To Acknowledge The Involvement Of Aboriginal Voices In Literature Which Until Recently, Was Ignored In Australian Literary History. Aboriginal Writing Embodies A Powerful Counter-Discourse Against The Whites. Historians And Writers On Aboriginal People Are Trying To Dismantle The Illogicalities In-Built In The White Discourse Which Produced A Distorted Version Of The Aborigines. Aborigines Have Recognized The Need To Re-Write Their Part Of History In Order To Change The Course Of The History That Was Forced Upon Them. This Book Studies Four Novels Of Australian Aboriginal Literature Viewing Aboriginal Historical Narratives As Counter-Discourse. Reading And Understanding Aboriginal Texts Will Help In Removing The Scars Left Unwritten In The Pages Of Mainstream History. A Systematic And Analytical Approach Attempted By This Book To Trace The Aboriginal History Embedded In The Novels Has Helped Much In The Process Of Reconstructing Aboriginal History.
