The essays proceed from different disciplines but fall into what might be termed Critical Indigenous Studies: politically committed and distinguished by nuance and self‐reflexivity and an awareness of the self‐referentiality, and occasional solipsism, of the dominant disciplines in Indigenous studies. (Here history and anthropology come to mind.)
The topics range from a theoretical investigation of questions of recognition in relation to ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremonies, to critical discussions of contemporary Aboriginal art and literature, and activism
