Beskrivning
The Literary Mirroring of Aboriginal Australia and the Caribbean challenges the structural opposition of indigeneity and creolisation through a historical and literary analysis of the connections between the 'First and Last of the New Worlds': Australia and the Caribbean. Dashiell Moore explores the continuities between indigenous and creole lifeworlds in the work of renowned Caribbean writers such as Édouard Glissant, Wilson Harris, Sylvia Wynter, and Kamau Brathwaite, and prominent Aboriginal Australian writers including Alexis Wright, Ali Cobby Eckermann, and Lionel Fogarty. Common to these authors is their reimagining of the inter-colonial other as a mirror image. This image, achieved through opacity and projection, visualises in creative ways both the movement to indigenisation in post-independence Caribbean literature and the inter-indigenous encounters of Aboriginal Australian literature. By upending the antipodean relationship of the Caribbean and Australia, this groundbreaking study offers radically new perspectives on the world generated by literary relation.

Recensioner i media

Drawing on Shu-mei Shi, Epeli Hau'ofa, Ambelin Kwaymullina, and Glissant once again (amongst others), Moore's book closes by emphasising signifiers of open and mobile comparison and not ones of direct point for point correspondence, manoeuvring through productive modes of replication such as the image of the archipelago. In undertaking this passage through oceans and islands, mirroring worlds that mirror moreso in turn, The Literary Mirroring of Aboriginal Australia and the Caribbean takes its reader on an active and open journey.
