Australian Aboriginal Women's Autobiographies: A Critical Study

K. Suneetha Rani (Author)

Synopsis Australian Aboriginal women's autobiographies function as literary vehicles that convey the writers' protest against colonization and oppression. They deconstruct the history and Aboriginal identity created by the colonizers and come up with alternative histories in the form of autobiographies, thus writing not only their own stories but also the life stories of people like them. The writers emerge with multiple identities and the voices that are often in conflict with the dominating society and subjugating institutions. This raises important questions about the act of writing as well as life in a colonized society.
