From the first Black Radio City Rockette dancer Jennifer Jones
comes an inspiring picture book autobiography perfect for fans of
trailblazers like Misty Copeland, Mae Jemison, and more. Dancing
has always made her feel free, like she can do anything. But when
Jennifer was a child, some people didn't think that she had a
future as a dancer because of the color of her skin. With the
support of her family, especially her mother, she proved that
anything is possible when you believe you belong. With beautiful
watercolor illustrations by artist Robert Paul Jr., On the Line is
a captivating true story about manifesting your dreams..
This international collection of eleven original essays on
Australian Aboriginal literature provides a comprehensive critical
companion that contextualizes the Aboriginal canon for scholars,
researchers, students, and general readers. Australian Aboriginal
literature, once relegated to the margins of Australian literary
studies, now receives both national and international attention.
Not only has the number of published texts by contemporary
Australian Aboriginals risen sharply, but scholars and publishers
have also recently begun recovering earlier published and
unpublished Indigenous works. Writing by Australian Aboriginals is
making a decisive impression in fiction, autobiography, biography,
poetry, film, drama, and music, and has recently been anthologized
in Oceania and North America. Until now, however, there has been no
comprehensive critical companion that contextualizes the Aboriginal
canon for scholars, researchers, students, and general readers.
This international collection of eleven original essays fills this
gap by discussing crucial aspects of Australian Aboriginal
literature and tracing the development of Aboriginalliteracy from
the oral tradition up until today, contextualizing the work of
Aboriginal artists and writers and exploring aspects of Aboriginal
life writing such as obstacles toward publishing, questions of
editorial control (orthe lack thereof), intergenerational and
interracial collaborations combining oral history and life writing,
and the pros and cons of translation into European languages.
