About This Item
Brisbane, St Lucia: University of Queensland Press (UQP), 2016. Paperback small trade, very good condition, few black & white text photos, top corner front flyleaf little scuffed, minor edgewear. 211 pp. Larissa Behrendt writes about Eliza Fraser who was captured by the Butchulla people after she was shipwrecked on Fraser Island in 1836. The author uses this story as a starting point to interrogate how Aboriginal people - and indigenous people of other countries - have been portrayed in coloniser stories. She shows how these stories not only reflect the values of their storytellers but also reinforce those values - and how, in Australia, this has contributed to a complex racial divide. The author is professor of indigenous research at the University of Technology Sydney.
