Anthropologists, ethnographers, historians, and missionaries have written about indigenous Australians for a long time, but in recent times indigenous Australians themselves have crossed into
authorship--in all genres; yet the colonially-grounded legacy continues in subtle ways. Grossman (cultural studies, Victoria U., Australia) applies her interest in cultural diversity (she’s
director of the Centre for Cultural Diversity and Wellbeing) to a sophisticated investigation in which she unveils editorial approaches and attitudes that continue to veil or distort what
indigenous writers have to say. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
