Australia and New Zealand, united geographically by their location
in the South Pacific and linguistically by their English-speaking
inhabitants, share the strong bond of hope for cultural diversity
and social equality-one often challenged by history, starting with
the appropriation of land from their indigenous peoples. This
volume explores significant themes and topics in Australian and New
Zealand literature. In their introduction, the editors address both
the commonalities and differences between the two nations'
literatures by considering literary and historical contexts and by
making nuanced connections between the global and the local.
Contributors share their experiences teaching literature on the
iconic landscape and ecological fragility; stories and perspectives
of convicts, migrants, and refugees; and Maori and Aboriginal
texts, which add much to the transnational turn. This volume
presents a wide array of writers-such as Patrick White, Janet
Frame, Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Witi Ihimaera,
Christina Stead, Allen Curnow, David Malouf, Les Murray, Nam Le,
Miles Franklin, Kim Scott, and Sally Morgan-and offers pedagogical
tools for teachers to consider issues that include colonial and
racial violence, performance traditions, and the role of language
and translation. Concluding with a list of resources, this volume
serves to supportnew and experienced instructors alike.
