This is the first book to examine how Australian fiction writers
draw on family histories to reckon with the nation's colonial past.
Located at the intersection of literature, history, and sociology,
it explores the relationships between family storytelling, memory,
and postcolonial identity. With attention to the political
potential of family histories, Reckoning with the Past argues that
authors' often autobiographical works enable us to uncover,
confront, and revise national mythologies. An important
contribution to the emerging global conversation about
multidirectional memory and the need to attend to the effects of
colonisation, this book will appeal to an interdisciplinary field
of scholarly readers.
